Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in unve ntilated area s or where dust or exp lo-

sive vapors can build up.

To redu ce the risk of electrical sho c k, use e x-

ten sion cords specifically mar ked as suit able

for outd oor app liances. The electrical ratingof

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 ex-

tension cord is in good condition. Inspect ex-

tension cord before use and replace if dam-

aged. 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.

Do not use multiple cords.

The powerhead may have a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other); if so, it will

require the use of a polarized extension cord.

The appliance plug will fit into a polarized ex-

tensioncordonlyoneway. Iftheplugdoes

not fit fully into th e extension cord, reverse the

plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a cor-

rect polarized extension cord. A polarized ex-

ten sion cor d will re qu ire the useof a po larized

wa ll outle t. T his plug will fit in to the polar ized

wall outlet only 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 th e proper wall outlet. Do not change

the equipmen t plug, extension cord recep-

tacle, or extension cord plug in any way .

Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-

lation and connectors on the powerhead and

extension cord before each use. If there is

any damage, do not use until damage is re-

paired by yo ur authorized service dealer.

Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord

as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord

around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord

away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by

pulling on cord. To un plug, grasp th e plug, no t

the cord.

Do not use the powerhead if the switch does

not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the

unit repaired by your authorized servicedeal-

er .

Keep the extension cord clear of operator and

obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to

heat, oil, water , or sharp edges.

Avoid any body contact with any grounded

conductor , such as metal fences, or pipes, to

avoid the po ssibility of elec tric shock. Do n’t

handle plug or unit with wet hands.

Do notusewith damaged cord or p lug. If pow-

erhead is not working as it should, has been

dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped

into water , return it to you r autho rized service

for repair.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the circuit or

outlet to be used for the powerhead. Recep-

tacles are available having built-in GFCI

protection and may be used for this measure

of safe ty .

Your powerhead should be double insulated

to help protectagainst electric shock. Double

insulation construction consists of two sepa-

rate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of

grounding. Tools and appliances built with a

double insulation system are not intended to

be grounded.Safety precautions must be ob-

served when operating any electrical tool.

The double insulation system only provides

added protection against injury resulting from

an internal electrical insulation failure.

W ARNING:

All repairs to an electric

powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,

etc., must bediagnosedandrepairedby qual-

ified service personnel. Replacement parts

foradoubleinsulated appliancemust beiden-

tical to the parts they replace. A double insu-

lated appliance is marked with the words

“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The

symbol

(squarewithin a square) may also

be marked on the appliance. Failure to have

the unit repaired by your authorized service

dealer can cause the double insulation con-

struction to become ineffective and result in

serious injury.
