•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-
TRICAL
•To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords specifically 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
in line voltage resulting in loss of pow-
er 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 depending on the cord length is shown in this manual).
•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, 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 way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali- fied electrician to install proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
•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 Sears Service Center. Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or cor- ners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•To reduce the possibility of 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't use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the unit repaired by your Sears Ser- vice Center.
•Keep the extension cord clear of oper- ator and obstacles at all times. Do not
expose cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
• Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibil- ity of electric shock. Don't handle 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
•Keep others including children, ani- mals, bystanders, and helpers a mini- mum of 50 feet (15 meters) away. Stop
the motor immediately if you are ap- proached. Do not allow the unit to be
used as a toy.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTIONThis unit is Double
Insulated to help protect against elec- tric shock. Double insulation construc-
tion consists of two separate "layers"
of electrical insulation instead of
grounding.Tools and appliances built with a double insulation system are
not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided 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 standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protec- tion against injury resulting from an in- ternal electrical insulation failure.
All electrical repairs to this unit, includ- ing housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by quali- fied service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they re- place. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words DOUBLE INSU- LATION or DOUBLE INSULATED. The
symbol [] (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by
Sears service personnel can cause
the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in seri- ous injury.
