TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-
TRICAL SHOCK--Do not use in
damp or wet locations or around swim-
ming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not ex-
pose to snow, rein, or water. Do not
handle extension cord plug or unit with
wet hands.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords speciticaIly
marked as suitable for outdoor ap-
pliances having electrical rating not
less than the rating of the unit. The
cord must be marked with the suffix
"W-A" (in Canada, "W"). Use a polar-
ized cord. Make sure your extension
cord is ingood condition. If damaged,
have the cord replaced. An under-
sized extension cord willcause adrop
in linevoltage resulting in loss of pow-
erandoverhesting, If indoubt, usethe
next heavier gauge, The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
(NOTE: The correct size to be used
depending on the cordlength isshown
inthis manual).
To reduce the risk of electricalshock,
this equipment has a polarized plug
(one bladeis widerthan the other). This
plugwill fit only one way in a polarized
outlet ofthe extension cord. Ensure you
have a polarized extension cord. The
plugof the polarized extension cord will
fit into the outlet only one wey. Ifthe plug
does not fit fully inthe outlet, reverse the
plug.If itstilldoes not tit,contact a quali-
fied electrician to installproper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
Inspact 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
pull or carry by cord; do not use cord
as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or cor-
ners. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
To reduce the possibilityof the exten-
sion cord disconnecting from the unit
during operation, tie cord to cord re-
tainer and connect to recessed plug
as shown in this manual.

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 ap-
pliances builtwith a double insulation
system are not intended to be
grounded. No grounding means ispro-
vided on this unit, nor should a means
of grounding be added to this unit.As
a result,the extension cord used with
your unit can be plugged into any stan-
dard 120 volt electrical outlet.Safety
precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool.The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injuryresult-
ing from an internal electrical insulation
faiture.
All electrical repairs to this unit, includ-
ing housing, switch, motor,etc,, must
be diagnosed and repaired 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 DOUBLEINSULATIONor
DOUBLEINSULATED.The symbol []
(square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance. Failure to
have the unitrepaired by Sears ser-
