Electrical Safety
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4. Do not expose appliances to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Grounded products must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the product should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
6. Double insulated appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
7. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug from
an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
this product.
9. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Fan Switch is off before plugging in.
Tool Use and Care
10. Do not use this appliance if any switch or thermostat does not work properly.
11. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments to the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
Service
12. Appliance service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.

13. When servicing an appliance, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical outlet.
GROUNDING

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided
with the tool or product. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have
