DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on
a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should
be performed only by qualified service personnel at an authorized
Legend Force dealer. 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 symbol
also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: Grounding not required. When
servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

This electric scarifier + dethatcher is double-insulated, eliminating
the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing double-
insulated appliances. Use this electric scarifier + dethatcher only as
described in this manual.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
□ Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the electric
scarifier + dethatcher. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

suitable for outdoor use.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
