Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter, which

protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that

receptacle is properly grounded. Test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug into 120-volt receptacle.
2. Push test button. Indicator light will go out and power to machine

should cut off.

3. If light does not go out when test button is pushed,

DO NOT USE

THE MACHINE

until proper repairs can be made.

4. To restore power after test, push reset button. With the reset

button depressed, if the machine doesn't start, stops while run-
ning, or if the operator experiences a mild shock,

DO NOT USE

THE MACHINE!

Tag the machine out of service and take it to a

motor repair center or return it to the factory for repairs.
