t use this product in rainy, stormy, damp
or wet locations. Do not operate in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
products normally spark, and the sparks might
ignite fumes. Do not use in rain.

when operating this product.
USE HEARING PROTECTION
-

plugs or muffs when operating this product.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
-
(GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit (s) or outlet (s) to be used for this
product if you are using an extension cord.
Receptacles are available having built
-
in GFCI
protection and may be used.
DOUBLE INSULATION –
This product has
double insulation. This means that all external
metal parts are insulated from the electrical
supply. This is achieved by introducing an
insulation layer between electrical and
mechanical parts. The double insulation
guarantees you the greatest possible safety.
EXTENSION CORD–
Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is 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. The following table 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
from the extension cord during use
you can make a knot as shown. It is
also possible to tie more than one
extension cord in a knot as shown to
prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use.
POLARIZED PLUGS
-
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
