ELECTRICALSAFETY
AWARNING:
Avoid a dangerous environment. To re-
duce 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 use on wet surfaces. Do not
handle extension cord plug or unit with
wet hands. Avoid dangerous situations.
Do not use in the presence of flam-
mable liquids or gases to avoid creating
a fire or explosion and/or causing dam-
age to unit. Do not abuse cord. Never
carry the unit by the extension cord or
yank extension cord to disconnect unit.
To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use cord as a handle, close a
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Turn off all controls
before unplugging. Do not expose cords
to heat, oil, or water. Do not use with
damaged cord or plug. If unit is not
working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to your Sears Service
Center for repair. Unplug the unit from
the power source when not in use, be-
fore servicing, cleaning, performing
maintenance, or storing. Do not put any
object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair and anything that may reduce
air flow.
• Use only a voltage supply as shown
on the nameplate of the unit.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do
not use in unventilated areas or where
dust or explosive vapors can build up.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap-
pliances. The electrical rating of the
cord must not be less than the rating
of the unit. The cord must be marked
with the suffix 'M,t'. Make sure your ex-
tension cord is in good condition. In-
spect extension cord before use and
replace if damaged. An undersized ex-
tension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. (NOTE:
The correct size to be used depending
on the cord length is shown in this
manual. See SELECT AN EXTENSION
CORD in the ASSEMBLY section).
• Do not use multiple cords.
• Keep the extension cord clear of oper-
ator and obstacles at all times.
• Tie cord to cord retainer and connect
to recessed plug as shown in this
manual to prevent damage to unit and/
or extension cord and to reduce the
possibility of the extension cord dis-
connecting from the unit during
operation.
• Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect
the insulation and connectors on the
unit and extension cord before each
use. If there is any damage, do not
use until damage is repaired by your
Sears Service Center.
• Do not use the unit if the switch does
not turn the unit on and off properly.
Have the unit repaired by your Sears
Service Center.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
switch is in the OFF position and keep
your hand and fingers away from the
switch while connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit
connected to the power source.
• Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibil-
ity of electric shock.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit or outlet to be used for this unit.
Receptacles are available having built-
in GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.
• Stop the motor immediately ifyou are
approached.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate "layers" of electrical insula-
tion instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be add-
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-
sion cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet. Safety precautions
must be observed when operating any
