instructions in this manual must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury,
and to provide reasonable safety and efficiency in using this unit. The operator is responsible
for following the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit. Read the entire
instruction manual before assembling and using the unit! Restrict the use of this unit to persons who read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on
the unit. Never allow children to use this unit. Do not allow the unit to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used near children. Always disconnect unit from power source
before servicing, cleaning,performing maintenance, or storing. Nonconforming replacement
components or the removal of safety devices may cause damage to the unit and possible
injury to the operator or bystanders. Use only accessories and replacement parts as recommended. Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
OPERATOR SAFETY
D Always wear safety glasses or similar eye
protection when operating, servicing, or
perfor m ing maintenance on your unit.
Wearing eye protection can help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or
ricocheti n g into eyes and face which can
result in blindness or serious injury.
D Always wear a respirator or face mask
when working with the unit in dusty environments.
D Dress safely in long pants. Do not go
barefoot or wear short pants or sandals.
D Do not operate the unit when you are
tired, ill, upset, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
D Secure hair so it is above shoulder length.
Keep loose hair, loose clothing, fingers,
and all other parts of the body away from
openings and moving parts. Hair, jewelry ,
loose clothing, or clothing with loosely
hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc., can be
caught in moving parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
W ARNING:
Avoid a dangerous environment. To 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, cleaning, performi ng 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.
D Use only a voltage supply as shown on the
nameplate of the unit.
D Avoid dangerous environments. Do not
use in unventilated areas or where dust or
explosive vapors can build up.
S To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and 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
outletonly 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. Do not
2
change the equipment plug, extension
cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
D To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances. The
electrical rating of the cord must be higher
than the rating of the unit. The cord must
be marked with the suffi x “W-A” (in Canada, “W”). Make sure your extension cord
is in good conditio n. 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 cord.
(NOTE: The correct size to be used depending on the cord length is shown in
this manual. See
SION CORD
SELECT AND EXTEN-
in the ASSEMBLY section).
S Do not use multiple cords.
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator
and obstacles at all times.
D 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.
D 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 authorized service
dealer.
D Don’t use the unit if the switch does not
turn the unit on and off properly. Have the
unit repaired by an authorized service
dealer.
D Avoid accidental starti ng. Be sure the
switch is in the
OFF position and keep
your hand and fingers away fr om the
switch while connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit
connected to the power source.
D Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
D Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protect ion should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
D Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-
proached.
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
Your unit is double insulated to help protect
against electric shock. Double insulation
construct ion consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Toolsand appliances built with a
double insulati on system are not intended
to be grounded. No grounding means is
provided on this unit, nor should a means
for grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit
can be plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Safety precaution smust be observedwhen
operati ng any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.
W ARNING:
All electrical repairs to this unit, including
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by an autho rized service dealer. Replacement parts for a double
insulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked wit h the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”
