in.

17. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
appliance is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors
and so marked.

18. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent
body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.

19. This appliance is provided with double
insulation. Use only identical replacement
parts. See instructions for Servicing of
Double-Insulated Appliances.

20. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has 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 the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

0 - 5.5 kPa (0 - 560 mm; 0 - 22")

SERVICING OF DOUBLE
INSULATED APPLIANCES

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
appliance to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.)
be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the appliance. A
power source with voltage greater than that
specified for the appliance can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the
appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
