DOUBLE INSULATION
Double Insulation is a concept in safety, replacing the stan­
dard grounded supply system, in electric power tools. The
construction of a double insulated tool affords comparable
protection to a properly grounded tool without the necessity
for using a gfounded conductor. The double insulation
system
eliminates the need for the usual three wire
grounded power cord and grounded su^Jly system.
Wheiwer there is electric current in the tool there are two
complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed
met^ parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. The lead wires,
switch, etc. with th^r functional insulation have the added
protection
of non-conductive sleeving or housings to
compiete the double insulation system.
SERVICING OF A TOOL WITH DOUBLE INSULATION
REQUfRES EXTREME CARE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE
SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. FOR SERVICE WE
SUGGEST YOU RETURN THE TOOL TO YOUR NEAREST
AUTHORIZED
DEALER FOR REPAIR WHICH WILL BE
DONE WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY REPLACEMENT PARTS.
