OPERATOR SAFETY

S Always wear safety glasses or similar eye protection when operating, servic- ing, 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.

SAlways wear a respirator or face mask when working with the unit in dusty envi- ronments.

S Dress safely in long pants. Do not go barefoot or wear short pants or sandals.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce the risk of elec- trical shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the possibil- ity of electrical shock. Do not handle ex- tension cord plug or unit with wet hands.

SUse only a voltage supply as shown on

the nameplate of the unit.

SAvoid dangerous situations. Do not use in presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explo- sion and/or causing damage to unit.

SAvoid dangerous environments. Do not use in unventilated areas or where dust

or explosive vapors can build up.

S To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances. The electrical rating of the cord must not be less than the rating of the unit. The cord must be marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Canada, “W”). Make sure your exten- sion cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage re- sulting 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 de- pending on the cord length is shown in this manual. See SELECT AN EXTEN- SION CORD in the ASSEMBLY section).

S 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 your au- thorized service dealer. Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord as a han- dle, 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 unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

STie cord to cord retainer and connect to recessed plug as shown in this manual to prevent damage to unit and/or exten- sion cord and to reduce the possibility of

the extension cord disconnecting from the unit during operation.

SDo not use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the unit repaired by your authorized ser- vice dealer.
