ing outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2.Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3.Do not expose pressure washers to rain or wet conditions. Water enter- ing a pressure washer will increase the risk of electric shock.

4.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un- plugging the pressure washer. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan- gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5.GFCI Precautions

Test GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter) before each use as follows:

a.Plug GFCI into power outlet and press reset button. Indicator should turn on.

b.Press test button. Indicator should turn off.

c.Press reset button again for use. Do not use if above test fails.

The GFCI device does not protect against electrical shock due to con- tact with both circuit conductors or a fault in any wiring supplying the GFCI device.

To allow GFCI unit to function properly, extension cords must not be used with this pressure washer.

Personal safety

1.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a pressure washer. Do not

use a pressure washer while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating pressure washers may result in serious per- sonal injury.

2.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection and thick rubber boots. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3.Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/

or battery pack, picking up or carry- ing the equipment. Carrying pres- sure washers with your finger on the switch or energizing pressure wash- ers that have the switch on invites accidents.

4.Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the pressure washer in unexpected situations.

5.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov- ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

6.Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved for the spe- cific hazards in the work area.
