This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for
Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or
SJTW.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your appliance. The Minimum
Gauge for Cord Sets chart below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating
Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord during operating:
1. Make a knot as shown in figure B; or
2. Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors described in this manual.
3. Secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as shown or described in the Operating Instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose electrical connection between the appliance’s plug
and extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically check the connection
while operating to ensure it is fully attached. Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A loose
connection may result in overheating, fire, and increases the risk of a burning.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if operation is dusty.
