DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION  
To ensure safer operation of this power tool, JOHN DEERE has adopted a double  
insulation design. “Double insulation “ means that two physically separated insulation  
systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to  
the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the  
symbol “ ” or the words “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the  
nameplate.  
Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal  
electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the  
power tool in wet environments.  
To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:  
a. Only a AUTHORIZED JOHN DEERE DEALER should disassemble or  
assemble this power tool, and only genuine JOHN DEERE replacement  
parts should be installed.  
b. Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with  
soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners  
on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.
