DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION Your powerhead should be 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. 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 repairs to an electric powerhead, 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 within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by your authorized service dealer can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.
