DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHIhas adopted a double insulation design. "Double insulation" meansthat two physically
separatedinsulationsystems havebeen usedto insulatethe electrically conductivematerials connectedto the powersupply from the outer frame
handled by the operator.Therefore,eitherthe symbol "rs]" or the words and "Double insulation" appearonthe powertool or on the nameplate.
Although this system hasno external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual,
including not usingthe power tool inwet environments.
