ELECTRICAL SAFETY

'_ WARNING: Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce the risk of electrical 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 possibility of electrical shock.

•Use a voltage supply as shown on unit.

•Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the presence 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, this equipment 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 out- let. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the prop- er wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord re- ceptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

•To reduce risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor ap- pliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of unit. Cord must be marked with suffix "W-A" (in Canada "W"). Make sure your exten- sion cord is in good condition. In- spect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. Do not use a

damaged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or de-

terioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. An undersized exten- sion cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the

gauge number, the heavier the cord (see SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD

in the OPERATION section).

•Do not use multiple cords.

•Do not abuse cord. Never carry the

unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord to disconnect unit.

•Use cord retainer to prevent discon- nection of extension cord from unit

and possible damage to the unit due

to plug movement (see ATTACH THE EXTENSION CORD TO YOUR TRIM-

MER in the OPERATION section).

•Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off

properly. Repairs to the switch must

be made by your Sears Service Center.

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

•To avoid the possibility of electric shock, avoid body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences or pipes.

•Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protection should be pro- vided on circuit or outlet to be used.

Receptacles are available having

built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

UNIT SAFETY

•Inspect unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Make sure all han- dles, guards, and fasteners are in place and securely fastened. Parts that are damaged must be repaired or replaced by a Sears Service Cen- ter. These include head parts that are cracked, or chipped, guards, and any other part that is damaged.

•Do not repair unit yourself.
