tion instead of grounding.

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 used with your unit can
be plugged
into any polarized
120 volt
electrical
outlet.
Safety precautions
must be observed
when operating
any electrical
tool.
The double insulation
system only
provides
added protection
against in-
jury resulting
from an internal electrical
insulation failure.
