ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
'_
WARNING:
Avoid a dangerous
environment.
To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, do not use in rain, in
damp or wet locations, or around
swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock.
Do
not handle extension cord or plug with
wet hands.
• Use only a voltage supply as shown
on the nameplate of the unit.
• 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) and
will require the use of a polarized ex-
tension cord. The appliance
plug will 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 plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall out-
let. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex-
tension cord plug in any way.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances having
electrical rating not less than the rating
of unit. Cord must he marked with
suffix =W-A" (in Canada "W"). Make
sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Inspect extension cord be-
fore
useand replaceif damaged.DO
not use a damaged cord. Cord insula-
tion must be intact with no cracks or
detedoraUon.
Plug connectors must
he undama_]ed. An undersized exten-
sion cord witl cause a drop in line volt-
age 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 SE-
LECT AN EXTENSION CORD in the AS-
SEMBLY section).
o Do not use multiple cords.
• Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect
insulation and connectors
on unit and
appliance
cord before each use. If

Service Center.
• Inspect extension cords before each
use and replace if damaged.
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry unit by
the cord or yank extension cord to dis-
connect unit.
• To reduce the possibility of the exten-
sion cord disconnecting from the unit
dudng operation, tie the power cord on
the unit. Bee SELECT AN EXTENSION
CORD in the ASSEMBLY section. Insert
cord socket on the unit into the exten-
sion cord receptacle.
• DO not use unit if the switch does not
tum the unit on and off properly. Re-
pairs to the switch must be made by
your Sears Service Center.
• Keep extension cord clear of operator,
unit, and obstacles at all times. DO not
expose the cord to heat, oil, water, or
sharp
edges.
• To avoid the possibility of electdc
shock, avoid body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
pipes or wire fences.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit or outlet to be used for this unit.
