ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING:
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 tu bs, 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 creati ng a fire or explosion
and/or causing damage to unit. Do not
abuse cord. Never carry the unit by theextension 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, performing 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.
S Use only a voltage supply as shown on
the nameplate of the unit.
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not
use in unventi l a ted areas or where dust
or explosive vapors can build up.
S To 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”.
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
2
Page 3
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 correctsize to be used depending on the cord length is shown in
this manual. See
SION CORD
S Do not use multiple cords.
S Keep the extension cord clear of opera-
tor and obstacles at all times.
S Ti e 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.
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the
insulation and connectors on the unit
and extension cord before each use. If

switch while connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit
connected to the power source.
S Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility
of electric shock.
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protect ion and may be used for
this measure of safety.
S Stop the motor immediat ely if you are
approached.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
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

in the ASSEMBLY section).
OFF position and keep
must be observed when operating any
electrical tool. The double insulation
system only provides added protection
against injury resulting from a n internal
electrical insulation failure.

by authorized service personnel can
cause the double insulat i on construction
to become ineffective and result in serious
injury.
