Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection

This pressure washer is provided with a ground‑fault
circuit‑interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power
supply cord. This device provides additional protection from
the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or
cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts
that include GFCI protection.

Extension Cords

Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking:
"Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors
while not in use. " Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do
not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord
before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension
cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord
away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and OFF the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.

Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances

Your appliance is double insulated to give you added safety.
In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only 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 insulated or
"double insulation. " The symbol i (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known
to State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
compounds in fertilizers,
compounds in insecticides, herbicides
and pesticides,
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear
approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or
disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
