         PWASH20 20 Gallon Parts Washer Assembly & Operating Instructions

 

 

FOR CONSUMER USE ONLY – NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE

 

 
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES  

 
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO ANY PRODUCT.  

THESE FACTORS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR. 

 

 

Keep your work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause 

accidents or injury. 

 
Do not operate the 

parts washer

 in explosive areas, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 

gases or dust. 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 

 
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the parts washer.

 Distractions can 

cause you to lose control.

 

 

 

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

Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and 

grounded power supply system. 

 
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. 

 
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep 
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately

Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 

 
When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W.” 

These cords 

are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Make sure the extension cord being used 
is in good condition. If there are any cuts or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO NOT use 
that cord. Also, make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed. DO NOT use 
small "around-the-house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when 
used with power tools. 

 

 

 

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. 

The correct tool will do the job better and 

safer at the rate for which it is designed. 

 
Do not use the 

parts washer

 if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. 

Any tool that 

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 

 
Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories or storing the tool. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool 

accidentally. 

 

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. 

Tools are dangerous in the 

hands of untrained users.
