Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate the Parts Washer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the Parts Washer.

Distractions can result in accidents and injuries.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. 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 a

grounded prouct should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated products are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polariz ed 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.

prong from the plug. Do not use the Buffer if the power cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet,
