S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not
use in unventilated areas or where dust or
explosive vapors can build up.
S T o 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 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

S T o reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances. 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 cord.
(NOTE: The correct size to be used depending on the cord length is shown in
this manual. See
CORD
in the ASSEMBLY section).

This unit is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate
“layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances built with
a double insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should
a means of 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
precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury r esulti ng fr om an
internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to this unit, including
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualif i ed 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

by an authorized service dealer can
cause the double insulation construction
to become ineffective and result in serious
injury.
