avoid the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not
handle extension cord plug or unit with
wet hands. Avoid dangerous situations.
Do not use in the presence of flam
mable liquids or gases to avoid creating
a fire or explosion and/or causing dam
age to unit. Do not abuse cord. Never
carry the unit by the extension cord or
yank extension cord to disconnect unit.
To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use cord as a handle, close a
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Turn off all controls
before unplugging. Do not expose cords
to heat, oil, or water Do not use with
damaged cord or plug. If unit is not
working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to your Sears Service
Center for repair. Unplug the unit from
the power source when not in use, be
fore servicing, cleaning, performing
maintenance, or storing. Do not put any
object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair and anything that may reduce
air flow.
• Use only a voltage supply as shown
on the nameplate of the 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,
this unit has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized exten
sion cord. The appliance plug will fit
into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall out
let. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex
tension cord plug in any way.
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 not be less 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 cordT (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).
Do not use multiple cords.
Keep the extension cord clear of oper
ators and obstacles at all times.
Tie cord to cord retainer and connect
to recessed plug as shown in this
manual to prevent damage to unit
and/or extension cord and to reduce
the possibility of the extension cord
disconnecting from the unit during
operation.
Do not attempt to repair unit. 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 Service Center
Do not use the unit if the switch does
not turn the unit on and off properly.
Have the unit repaired by your Sears
Service Center,
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
switch is in the OFF position and keep
your hand and fingers away from the
switch white connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit
connected to the power source.
Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibil
ity of electric shock.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit or outlet to be used for this unit.
Receptacles are available having builtin GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.

DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insuiafed 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.
^WARNING:
Ail electrical repairs to this unit, includ
ing housing, switch, motor, etc., must
be diagnosed and repaired by qualified
service personnel. 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 ^
(square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance. Failure to
have the unit repaired by Sears ser
vice personnel can cause the double
insulation construction to become inef
fective and result in serious injury.
