level of the parts shelf (approximately 12 gallons).

WARNING: Do not fill the Parts Washer with flammable solvents such as kerosene or

gasoline.

WHEN USING YOUR PARTS WASHER

1. Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles.

2. Clean off any accidental skin exposure to the degreaser immediately. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions carefully. Seek medical attention if necessary.

3. Keep the work area tidy and mop up any accidental spills.

WARNING: Chlorinated solvents such as Methyl Chloride can chemically react with

aluminum and may explode. Many tools and equipment parts contain aluminum.

WHEN NOT IN USE

1. Switch off the pump and close the lid.

2. Disconnect the Parts Washer from the electrical supply before carrying out any maintenance
or cleaning.

WARNING: The pump of your Parts Washer may be damaged if you use solvents other

than those listed above such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), perchloroethylene or trichloroethylene.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the

rating plate.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank the tool or

extension cord from the receptacle. Keep power cords and extension cords away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause
a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.

• Grounded tools must be plugged in to an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not modify or alter the plug in any way.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.”
