followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

and personal injury, including the following:

tu

a)

b)

FOR ALL DOUBLE-nNSULATED

APPILL41NCES

Replacement pa_s. When servicing use

only identical replacement parts°

Polarized Appliance Connections

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other) and will require

the use of a polarized extension cord°

The appliance plug wilt fit into a polarized

extension cord only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully into the extension cord,

reverse the plug.. If the plug still does not fit,

obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A

polarized extension cord will require the use

of a polarized wall outlet,. This plug will fit

into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet,

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install

the proper wall outlet Do not change the

equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,

or extension cord plug in any way,

2. FOR ALL APPLEANCES

a) Avoid dangerous environment. Don't

use appliances in damp or wet locations_

b} Don't use in rain.

c) Keep chi|dren away. All visitors should be

kept at a distance from work area_

d) Dress proper_. Do not wear loose

h )_ IJtIARNING! To

reduce the risk of

electric shock, use only with an extension

cord intended for outdoor use, such as an

extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,

STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A_

or SJTOW-A_

i) _xtension cord! Make sure your extension

cord is in good condition,, When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy

enough to carry the current your product

will draw_ An undersized extension cord will

cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.Table I 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 cordoTo reduce

the risk of disconnection of appliance cord

from the extension cord during operating:

i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 2; or

ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps

or connectors described in this manual.
