C. DOUBLE INSULATION
YourChain Saw is double insulated to help protect
against electric shock. Ad0ubfe insulatedtooliscon-
structedthroughout withtwbseparate "layers" ofelec-
trical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
.between the operator and the electrical system ofthe
tool
Tooisbuilt with this insulation system are notintended
to be grounded. As a result, the extensiOncord used
withyoursawcan beplugged intoany conventional120
volt electrical outletwithout concern for maintaining a
ground connection.
Safety precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool. The double insulation
system only supplies added protection against injury
