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 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 appliance 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
the plug still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the equip-
ment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances.
The
electrical rating of the cord must not be
less than the rating of the unit. The
cord must be marked with suffix 'MT".
Use a polarized cord.
Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
Inspect extension cord before use and
replace if damaged. Do not use a
damaged cord.
Cord insulation must
be intact with no cracks or deteriora-
tion. Plug connectors must be undam-
aged. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating.
If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The lower the gauge number, the
heavier the cord (see SELECT AN EX-
TENSION CORD in the OPERATION sec-
tion). Do not use multiple cords.
• Do not abuse cord. Never carry the
unit by the extension
cord or yank
extension
cord to disconnect
unit.
• Secure extension
cord to power cord
to prevent disconnection
from unit.
• Do not use the unit if the switch does
not turn the unit on and off properly,
or if the lock-out
does not work. Re-
pairs to the switch must be made by
a Sears Service
Centre.
• Keep extension
cord clear of opera-
tor and obstacles
at all times. Posi-
tion cord so that it will not be caught
