IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all Safety Rules and Precautions can result in serious injury.

WARNING: The warnings and safety instructions in this manual must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, and to provide reasonable safety and efficiency in using this unit. The operator is responsible for following the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit. Read the entire Operator’s Manual before assembling and using the unit! Restrict the use of this unit to persons who read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit. Never al- low children to use this unit.

OPERATOR SAFETY

• Always wear safety glasses or similar eye pro- tection when operating, servicing, or performing maintenance on your unit. Wearing eye protection can help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting into eyes and face which can result in blindness or serious injury.
• Always wear a respirator or facemask when working with the unit in dusty environments.
• Dress safely in long pants. Do not go barefoot or wear short pants or sandals.
• Do not operate the unit when you are tired, ill, upset, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Keep loose hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all other parts of the body away from open- ings and moving parts. Jewelry, loose clothing, or clothing with loosely hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc., can be caught in moving parts. Secure hair so it is above shoulder length.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Use only a voltage supply as shown on the name plate of the unit.

• Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in pres- ence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK–Do not use in damp or wet locations or. around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not ex- pose to snow, rain, or water. Do not handle exten- sion cord plug or unit with wet hands.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor ap- pliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of the unit. The cord must be marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Canada, “W”). Use a polarized cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. If damaged, have the cord replaced. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
  (NOTE: The correct size to be used depending on the cord length is shown in this manual).

• Inspect the insulation and connectors on the unit and extension cord before each use. If there is any damage, do not use until damage is repaired by an Authorized Service Dealer.

• Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To un- plug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• To reduce the possibility of the extension cord disconnecting from the unit during oper- ation, tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re- cessed plug as shown in this manual.

• Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the unit re- paired by an Authorized Service Dealer.

• Keep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.

• Avoid any body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal pipes or wire fences, to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Do not handle plug or unit with wet hands.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug If unit is not working as: sit should, has been dropped, dam- aged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an Authorized Service Dealer for repair.

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit or out- let to be used for this unit. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a polarized plug. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet of extension cord only one way (one blade is wider than the other). If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY

• Turn off all controls and allow the motor to stop before disconnecting the unit from the power source.

C. DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION

Your unit is Double Insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construc- tion

consists of two separate “layers” of electrical in- sulation instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a double insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means for grounding be added to this unit. As a result, your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet.

Safety precautions must be observed when op- erating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING
All electrical repairs to this unit, including hous- ing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and re- paired by an Authorized Service Dealer. Replace- ment parts for a double insulated appliance must doub be identical to the parts they replace. A double in- sulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSU- LATED.” The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by an Authorized Ser- vice Dealer can cause the double insulation con- struction to become ineffective and result in seri- ous injury.
