INSULATION

SAFETY

Double Insulation is a concept in safety, replacing the standard grounded
supply system, in electric power tools. The
construction
of a double insqtated tool affords compatible
protection to a properly grounded toot without the necessity
for using a grounded
conductor.
The double insulation
system eliminates the need for the usual three wire grounded
power cord and grounded supply system. Wherever there is
electric current
in the tool there are two complete sets of
insulation
to protect the user. All exposed metal parts'are
isolated from the internal metal motor components
with protecting insulation.
The lead wires, switch, etc. with their
• functional
insulation have the added protection of non conductive sleeving or housings to complete the double insulation system.

SERVICING
OF A TOOL WITH DOUBLE INSULATION
REQUIRES EXTREME CARE AND KNOWLE-_OGE OF T.._ SYSTEM
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALI_
FlED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
FOR SERVICE WE SUGGEST
YOU RETURN THE TOOL TO YOUR NEAREST
SEARS
STORE FOR REPAIR
WHICH
VVlLL BE DONE WITH
ORIGINAL
FACTORY REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
SUB-FREEZING
TEMPERATURES
de-magnetizes
the permanent magnets
when in operation.
Do NOT operate in
freezing temperature.

6. Do not use trimmer as a hedge trimmer,
7. Store indoors in a dry, high, or fock-up place out of reach

away.
9. Maintain tdmmer with care.
10. Do not immerse tool in water or operate in rain.
