Servicing of a double-insulated product
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing of a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be
identical to those parts in the product.

Important Safety Instructions
Read these instructions
Hazard: POISON - Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The
peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any paint applied to homes before 1950 is likely to
contain lead. Any paint manufactured before 1977 may contain lead.
Once the paint is deposited on surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead
can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine
whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done
by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint
analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. Lead-
based paint should only be removed by a professional and should
not be removed using a heat gun.
Prevention:
1. Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated.
Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the
air from inside to outside.
