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 GFCIprotection.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
andordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of adaptor with
thisproduct.
21 . Use only hoses and accessories rated for pressure
higher than your pressure washer’s psi. Never use with
any other manufacturer’s accessories or components.
22 . Never defeat the safety features of this product.
23 . Do not operate machine with missing, broken or
unauthorised parts.
24 . Never spray flammable liquids or use pressure washer in
areas containing combustible dust, liquid, or vapors.
25 . DO NOT use an extension cord with this pressure washer.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
wear approved safety equipment such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopicparticles.
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 andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools will stand
upright but may be easily knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
• 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 using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
