of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools built with this insulation system arenot
intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should a
meansofgroundingbeaddedto thisunit. 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 in-
sulation system only provides added protec-
tion against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.
WARNING: All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
locking sleeve assembly,wires, etc., mustbe
diagnosed and repaired by qualified service
personnel.Replacementpartsforadoublein-
sulated appliance must be recommended by
the manufacturer. A double insulated ap-
pliance is marked with the words “double in-
sulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol
(square within a square)
may also 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.
