• Use only grounded electrical outlets.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords.

• Ensure ground prongs are intact on power and extension cords.

• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like
just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
