ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
• Use a voltage supply as shown on
unit.
• Avoid dangerous
environment.
Don't
use appliances
in damp or wet loca-
tions. Don't use in rain.
• Avoid dangerous
situations.
Do not
use in the presence
of flammable
liq-
uids or gases to avoid creating a fire
or explosion
and/or causing
damage
to unit.
• To reduce the risk of electrical
shock,
this equipment
has a polarized
plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit only one way in a po-
larized outlet of the extension
cord.
Ensure you have a polarized
exten-
sion 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 qualified
electrician
to install proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
• To reduce risk of electrical
shock,
use extension
cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap-
pliances having electrical
rating not
less than the rating of unit. Cord
must be marked with suffix "W-A"
(in
Canada
"W"). Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition.
In-
spect extension
cord before use and
replace if damaged.
An undersized
extension
cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting
in loss of power
and overheating.
If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge.
The lower the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
(See "Selecting
an extension
cord")

unit by the extension
cord or yank
extension
cord to disconnect

erator and obstacles
