Information
The plug supplied on your air mover may
not fit into the outlet you are planning to
use. Your local electrical code may
require slightl y different power cord plug
connections. If these differences exist
refer to and make the proper adjust m ents
per your local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of a malfuncti on or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of elect ric sh ock. This ai r mov er is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment groundi ng conductor and a
grounding plug, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug prov ide d. If it will
not fit the outl et, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged
in any way, have it replaced immediately
by a qualified electrician.
If the grounding instructions are not completely unde rstood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly
grounded check wit h a qualified electrician or service personnel.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers
to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing the
plug from the outlet.
