**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE:
AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are work-
ing with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
See Figure 2.
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on this unit will reset
to ON when plugged in. In the event of a ground fault, press the
RESET button to restore power.
This GFCI guards against the hazards of ground fault currents.
An example of ground fault current is the current that would flow
through a person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation
and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground such
as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or
shocks.
NOTE:
To ensure readiness for use, press the TEST button each
time you connect the pressure washer to the power supply.
To test:
Depress the TEST button. This should cause the RESET button
to pop out.
To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric pow-
er tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting in-
sulation. Double insulated products do not need to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the product’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
NOTE:
Servicing of a product with double insulation requires ex-
treme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest
you return the product to your nearest authorized service center
for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when
servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be con-
nected to a
power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal
household current), 60 Hz.
Do not operate this product on
direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
ExTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in over-
heating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that
is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with
“WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to
prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make a knot,
then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle
end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.
