ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric powerheads)

_WARNING:

Avoid a dangerous environment. To re- duce 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. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands. Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the presence of flam- mable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing dam- age to unit. Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or water. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your authorized service dealer for repair. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use, be- fore servicing, and when changing ac- cessories and/or attachments. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

Use only a voltage supply as shown on the nameplate of the powerbead.

Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in unventilated areas or where

dust or explosive vapors can build up.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the powerhead may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the oth- er); if so, it will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The ap- pliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the exten- sion 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 outlet. 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
