Have the unit repaired by your authorized

service dealer.

Keep the extension co rd clear of operator and

obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to

heat, oil, water , or sharp edges.

Avoid any body contact with any grounded

conductor , such as metal fences, or pipes, to

powerhead is not working as it should, has

been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or

dropped into water, return it to your autho-

rized service dealer for repair .

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on thecircuit

or outlet to be used for thepowerhead. Re-

ceptacles are available having built-in

GFCI protection and may be used for this

measure of safety.

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

Your powerhead should be double insulated

to help protect against electric shock. Double

insulation construction consists of two sepa-

rate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of

grounding. Tools and appliances built with a

double insulation system are not intended to

be grounded.Safety precautions must be ob-

served when operating any electrical tool.

The double insulation system only provides

added protection against injury resulting from

an internal electrical insulation failure.

W ARNING:

All repairs to an electric

powerhead, including housing, switch, motor ,

etc., must bediagnosedandrepairedbyqual-

ified service personnel. Replacement parts

foradoubleinsulated appliancemust be iden-

tical to the parts they replace. A double insu-

lated appliance is marked with the words

“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The

symbol

(squarewithin a square) may also

be marked on the appliance. Failure to have

the unit repaired by your authorized service

dealer can cause the double insulation con-

struction to become ineffective and result in

serious injury.

hurt people or animals, break glass, or

cause other damage.

Check air intake opening frequently. Keep

vents and discharge opening free of debris

which can accumulate and restrict proper

air flow.

Neve r place any object in air intake open ing

as this could restrict proper air flow andcause
