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

• 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.

the insulation and connectors on the
unit and extension cord before each
