ELECTRICAL SAFETY
^WARNING: Avoid a dangerous
environment. To reduce the risk of
eiectrical shock, do not use in rain, in
damp or wet locations, or around
swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock. Do
not handle extension cord plug or unit
with wet hands.
• Use only a voltage supply as shown
on the nameplate of the unit.
• Avoid dangerous situations. Do not
use in presence of flammable liquids
or gases to avoid creating a fire or ex
plosion and/or causing damage to unit.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do
not use in unventilated areas or where
dust or explosive vapors can build up.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap
pliances. The electrical rating of the
cord must be higher than the rating of
the unit. The cord must be marked
with the suffix “W-A" (in Canada, “W”).
Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. Inspect extension cord
before use and replace if damaged.
An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. (NOTE: The correct
size to be used depending on the cord
length is shown in this manual. See
SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD in the
ASSEMBLY section)
• inspect the insulation and connectors
on the unit and extension cord before
each use. If there is any damage, do
not use until damage is repaired by
your Sears Sen/ice Center. Do not
pull or carry by cord; do not use cord
as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or cor
ners. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
• To reduce the possibility of the exten
sion cord disconnecting from the unit
during operation, tie cord to cord re
tainer and connect to recessed plug
as shown in this manual.
• Do not use the unit if the switch does
not turn the unit on and off properly.

DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate “layers” of electrical insula
tion instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not in
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be add
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten
sion cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any polarized 120 volt
electrical outlet. Safety precautions
must be observed when operating any
electrical tool. The double insulation
system only provides added protection
against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.
tlfil^ WARNING: All electrical repairs
to this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, etc., must be diagnosed and re
paired by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insu
lated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation" or “double insu
lated”. The symbol® (square within a
square) may also be marked on the
appliance. Failure to have the unit re
paired by Sears service personnel can
cause the double insulation construc
tion to become ineffective and result in
serious injury.
