Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI)
Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit
interrupter, which protects you against shock if a
short circuit should occur. Check that receptacle is
properly grounded. Test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug into 120-volt receptacle.
2. Push test button. Indicator light will go out and
power to machine should cut off.
3. If light does not go out when test button is
pushed, equipment should not be used until
proper repairs can be made.
4. To restore power after test, push reset button.
With the reset button depressed, if the machine
doesn't start, stops while running, or if the
operator experiences a mild shock,
do not use
the machine!
Take it to a motor repair center or
return it to the factory for repairs.
Note:
The section of cord between
the wall plug and the GFCI is not in
the protected circuit.
