3.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

Use only as described in this manual.

5.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance should not work as it should, has been dropped or

6.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around sharp

edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord
8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
9. Do not put any objects into opening. Do not use with any opening blocked: keep free of dust, lint,
hair and anything that may reduce airflow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

12. Do not use in areas where flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline may be present.

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the machine - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 16/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the
appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.

When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replace-
ment parts.
