ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric powerheads)

WARNING:

Avoid a dangerous environment. T o reduce the risk of electrical 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 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 flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage 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 authorized service dealer for repair. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories and/or attachments. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,lint, hairandanything that may reduce air flow. S Use only a voltage supply as shown on the

nameplate of the powerhead.

S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up.

S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the

powerhead may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); if so, it will require the use of a polarized extension 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 outlet. Donot change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-

tension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of unit. Cord must be marked with suffix “W -- A” (in Canada “W”). Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replaceif damaged. Do not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. The extension cord used to reach the power sourc e must be heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of the extension cord to the unit. 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 lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

S Do not use multiple cords. S Keep the extension cord clear of operator and

obstacles at all times.

S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-

cessed 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.

S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-

lation and connectors on the powerhead and extension cord before each use. If there is any damage, do not use until damage is repaired by your authorized service dealer.

S Do not use the powerhead if the switch

does not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the unit repaired by your authorized service dealer.
