EXTENSION CORD USAGE
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. 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.
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in
Figure 1
. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure 2
, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure
1 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
