DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord us ed 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:
All electrical repairs to 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 identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the
words “double insulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol
square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired
by authorized service personnel can
cause the double insulation construction
to become ineffective and result in serious
injury.
