•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-

TRICAL SHOCK--Do not use in

damp or wet locations or around swim- ming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not ex- pose to snow, rein, or water. Do not

handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands.

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use extension cords speciticaIly 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 polar- ized cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. If damaged, have the cord replaced. An under- sized extension cord will cause a drop in linevoltage resulting in loss of pow- erandoverhesting, If in doubt, usethe next heavier gauge, The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. (NOTE: The correct size to be used depending on the cordlength isshown in this manual).

•To reduce the risk of electricalshock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit only one way in a polarized outlet of the extension cord. Ensure you have a polarized extension cord. The plug of the polarized extension cord will fit into the outlet only one wey. Ifthe plug does not fit fully inthe outlet, reverse the plug. If it stilldoes not tit,contact a quali- fied electrician to installproper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

•To reduce the possibilityof the exten- sion cord disconnecting from the unit during operation, tie cord to cord re-

tainer and connect to recessed plug as shown in this manual.

•Don'tuse the unitifthe switch does not turn the unit on and offproperly, Have

ity of electdc shock. Don'thandle plug or unit with wet hands.

•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left out- doors, or dropped into water, return it

to your Sears Service Center for re- pair.

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

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is Double Insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate "layers" of electrical insula- tion instead of grounding.Tools and ap- pliances built with a double insulation

system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is pro- vided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with

your unit can be plugged into any stan- dard 120 volt electrical outlet.Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury result- ing from an internal electrical insulation faiture.

All electrical repairs to this unit, includ- ing housing, switch, motor, etc,, must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace, A double insulated appliance is marked with the words DOUBLEINSULATION or

DOUBLE INSULATED.The symbol [] (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by Sears ser- vice personnel can cause the double
