DO USE EXTENSION CORDS FITTED WITH PROPER PLUGS
. When machine is used with
any extension cord, be sure to use plugs and receptacles rated for proper voltage and amperage
as prescribed by the National Electric Code. Make sure that all extension cords are wired the
same, matching wire colors and that the ground wire (green) is secured in its proper position.

Solvents such as gasoline,
thinner, benzene, carbon tetrachloride and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts, handle
grips, electric cords, as well as damage painted surfaces of the machine. Do not clean them with
such solvents. Clean plastic parts, electric cords and handle grips with a soft cloth lightly
dampened with soapy water. Refer to the MSDS of all substances in and around the machine and
follow the appropriate safety guidelines associated with the use/exposure of the substance.
4.35
WHEN REPLACING A COMPONENT PART, USE THE SAME TYPE.
When replacing a
component part with a new one, use only parts with equal or better operating specifications.
Never attempt to repair machine unless you are completely familiar with proper procedures and
techniques required.
