ELECTRICAL SAFETY

AWARNING:

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 Sears Service Center for repair. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use, be- fore servicing, cleaning, performing maintenance, or storing. 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 unit.

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

dust or explosive vapors can build up.

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized exten- sion 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 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 still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall out- let. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex- tension cord plug in any way.

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor ap- pliances. The electrical rating of the

cord must not be less than the rating of the unit. The cord must be marked

with the suffix '_#V-A"(in Canada, "W"). Make sure your extension 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 resulting 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 depending on the cord

length is shown in this manual. See SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD in the

ASSEMBLY section).

•Do not use multiple cords.

•Keep the extension cord clear of oper- ator and obstacles at all times.

•Tie cord to cord retainer and connect

to recessed plug as shown in this

manual to prevent damage to unit and/ or extension cord and to reduce the

possibility of the extension cord dis-

connecting from the unit during opera- tion.

•Do not attempt to repair unit. 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 use the unit if the switch does

not turn the unit on and off properly.

Have the unit repaired by your Sears Service Center.

•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position and keep your hand and fingers away from the switch while connecting the unit to the power source or when carrying a unit connected to the power source.

•Avoid any body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibil- ity of electric shock.

•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 safety.

•Stop the motor immediately if you are approached.
