GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Every pump is carefully tested and packed during its assembly. On receiving the pump, check that pump has not been damaged during transportation. If the pump is damaged, immediately inform the dealer within 8 days from the date of purchase.

WORK AREA

• Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.

• Do not use where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Some tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating this tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator's view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.

• Be alert of your surroundings. Using tools in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension cords from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accor-

dance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polar- ized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
