CORD CONNECTED, DOUBLE INSULATED
PRODUCTS
1.GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the
power-supply cord. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric shock. Should
replacement of the plug or cord become necessary,
use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI
protection.
2. SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
product, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated product must be identical to the parts
they replace.
3. EXTENSION CORDS
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
“Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store
indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the rating of
the product. Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and replace if
damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not
yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from
heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension
cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.
SAFETY RULES FOR EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. To
reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
