qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,

DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help protect
against electric shock. Double insulation
construction consists of twoseparate “layers”
of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should a
means ofgrounding beaddedtothisunit. Asa
result, the extension cord used with your unit
can be plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must be recommended by the manufacturer. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The
symbol (square within a square)
be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by qualified service personnel can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.
