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. If the equipment should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
5. Double insulated equipment is 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
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. 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.
7. Do not expose equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the
equipment or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power
Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating equipment outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating equipment. Do not use equipment while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating equipment may result in serious personal injury.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Plugging in equipment with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
12. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions. Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles and a dust mask/
respriator when using or performing maintenance on this equipment.
EQUIPMENT USE AND CARE
