require the use of a polarized extension 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 the 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 equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding.
• No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel.
• Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts they replace.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or
SJTW.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is
the correct size for your appliance. The table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose
electrical connection between the appliance’s plug and
extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug
to the extension cord.
• Periodically check the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached.
• Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose
connection. A loose connection may result in
overheating, fire, and increases the risk of a burning.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord
from the extension cord during operating:
1. Make a knot as shown in figure.
• Maintain appliance with care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.
4 CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the
presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this
machine. Children who are 14 years of age and older
must read and understand the operating instructions and
safety rules in this manual and must be trained and
supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the machine off if a child or any other
person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your view of a child who may run into the path of the
machine.
