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.

C. Extension cord
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. Always plug the
extension cord into a GFCI protected outlet.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug getting
wet when using an extension cord, arrange a
"drip loop" in the cord connecting the pressure
washer to the extension cord. The "drip loop"
is that part of the cord below the level of the
connector which prevents water travelling
along the cord and coming in contact with the
connection. If the plug does get wet, DO NOT
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the tool, then
unplug and examine for presence of water in the
connection.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of
electrocution, keep all connections dry and
off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands.
