7.  Do not use fan near curtains, plants, window treatments or other objects that can become caught in the blades.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live device with any part of your body that is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current, increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.

1.  Disconnect the device from the power supply before making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, servicing or when storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the device accidentally.
2.  Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3.  Do not expose the device to rain, snow, frost or any other damp or wet conditions. Water entering a device will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.  Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the power switch. This will prevent an accidental start-up when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
5.  Do not alter any parts of the device or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.
6.  Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).
7.  A polarized plug has two blades of different widths, allowing only one way to insert the plug into the outlet. If the outlet does not accept a polarized plug, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug, as this may compromise the built-in safety feature.

POWER CORD

1.  Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible. Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the device’s power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
   • a. If an extension cord must be used, the cord must be a minimum 14 AWG and rated not less than 1,875 W.
2.  Do not operate this device if the power cord is frayed, damaged or poorly spliced, as an electric shock may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
   • a. Inspect the device’s power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation or plug before each use.
   • b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the device.
3.  Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
4.  Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
   • a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
   • b. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
   • c. Never use the cord to carry the device.
5.  Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings. Covering that cord may result in the tool overheating and starting a fire.
