return it to your Sears Service Center
for repair.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit or outlet to be used for the
powerhead. Receptacles are avail-
able having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
Your powerhead should be double in-
sulated to help protect against electric
shock.
Double insulation construction
consists of two separate "layers" of
electrical
insulation instead of ground-
ing. Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. Safety pre-
cautions must be observed when op-
erating any electrical tool. The double
insulation system only provides added
protection against injury resulting from
an internal electrical
insulation failure.
_I_WARNING:
All repairs to an
electric powerhead, including housing,
switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed
and repaired by qualified service per-
sonnel. 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 symbolFSq
(square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance.
Failure to
have the unit repaired by your Sears
Service Center can cause the double
insulation construction
to become inef-
fective and result in serious injury.
