WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, these instructions and warnings should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons:
Read all instructions before using this Fan.
WARNING
DO NOT use this Fan to ventilate areas where flammable liquids or vapors are used, stored or are present, including paints,
gasoline, varnishes, floor refinishing products or solvents. ALWAYS read and follow all warnings and instructions on the
containers for these products!
ALWAYS be sure the plug fits tightly into the outlet. When plugs fit loosely into outlets, they may slip partially out of the outlet
and create a poor connection. This may cause outlets to overheat and create a potential fire hazard. Outlets in this condition
should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
ALWAYS unplug the power cord when servicing, cleaning or moving the Fan. DO NOT use the ON/OFF switch as the sole
means of disconnecting power. NEVER leave children unattended when the Fan is on or plugged in. ALWAYS turn off and
unplug the Fan when not in use.
Use ONLY GFCI protected receptacles if utilizing as an installation type Fan.
BE CERTAIN that the power source for the Fan is 120V AC. DO NOT plug the Fan into 240V or other power source.
THIS FAN HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is designed to fit into the outlet only one way.
Match the wide blade to wide slot in outlet and FULLY INSERT. DO NOT attempt to bypass or defeat this safety feature. If the
plug does not fit in the outlet, consult a qualified electrician. The outlet may need to be replaced. To Reduce The Risk Of Fire or
Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Fan With Any Solid-State Speed Control Device
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no
circumstances should the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be done only by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only.
DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG ADAPTER. IMPROPER CONNECTION MAY CREATE THE RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. USE OF SUCH ADAPTERS IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
