Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your blower is double-insulated to give you
added safety. In a double insulated appliance,
two systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double insulated appliance, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the appliance.
Servicing a double insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system
and should be done only by qualifi ed 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 insulated or
"double insulation". The symbol (square within a
square) may also be marked on the appliance.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This equipment must
be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3
wire extension cord. Polarized connections will
fi t together only one way. Make sure that the
receptacle end of the extension cord has large
and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not
fi t fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fi t, obtain a suitable extension
cord. If the extension cord does not fi t fully into
the outlet, contact a qualifi ed electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or
extension cord in any way.
