TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC­
TRICAL SHOCK—Do not use in
damp orwet locations or around swim­
ming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not ex­
pose to snow, rain, or water. Do not
handie extension cord plug or unit with
wet hands.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap­
pliances having electrical rating not
less than the rating of the unit. The
cord must be marked with the suffix
"W-A” (in Canada, “W"). Use a polar­
ized cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. If damaged,
have the cord replaced. An under­
sized ©{tension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of pow-
erandoverheating. Ifin doubt, usethe
next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord,
(NOTE: The correct size to be used
depending on the cord length is shown
In this manual).
To reduce the risk of electrical sh(x;k,
this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) .This
plug will fit only one way in a polarized
outlet of the extension cord. Ensure you
have a polarized extensbn cord. The
plug of the polarized extension cord will
fit into the 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 quali­
fied electrician to Install proper outlet. Do
not ohange the plug in any way.
Inspect the insulation and connectors
on the unit and extension cord before
each use. If there is any damage, do
not use until damage is repaired by
your Sears Service Center. Do not
pull or carry by cord; do not use cord
as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or cor­
ners. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
To reduce the possibility of the exten­
sion cord disconnecting from the unit
during operation, tie cord to cord re­
tainer and connect to recessed plug
as shown in this manual.
Don’t usethe unit Iftheswitch does not
turn the unit on and off properly. Have
the unit repaired by your Sears Ser­
vice Center.
Keep the extension cord clearof oper-
atorand obstacles at ail times. Do not
expose cords to heat, oil, water, or
sharp edges.
■ Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibil­
ity of electric shock. Don't handle plug
or unit with wet hands.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If unit Is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left out­
doors, or dropped into water, return it
to your Sears Service Center for re­
pair.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection should be provided
on the circuit or outlet to be used for
this unit. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and
may be used for this measure of safe­
ty.
• Keep others including children, ani­
mals, bystanders, and helpers a mini­
mum of 30 feet (10 meters) away. Stop
the motor immediately if you are ap­
proached. Do not allow the unit to be
used as a toy.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is Double Insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate “layers” of electrical insula­
tion instead of grounding.Tools and ap-
piiances built with a double insulation
system are not intended to be
grounded. No grounding means is pro­
vided on this unit, nor should a means
of grounding be added to this unit. As
a result, the extension cord used with
your unit can be plugged into any stan­
dard 120 volt electrical outlet.Safety
precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against Injury result­
ing from an internal electrical insulation
failure.
All electrical repairs to this unit, inciud-
ing housing, switch, nxrtor, etc., must
be diagnosed and repaired by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts they replace. A
double Insulated appliance is marked
with the words DOUBLE INSULATION or
DOUBLE INSULATED. The symbol 0
(square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance. Failure to
have the unit repaired by Sears ser­
vice personnel can cause the double
