• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used in the presence of children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• 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.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is intended for commercial use.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this appliance.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not t into
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.

USING EXTENSION CORDS
The machine comes standard with a 50 foot, 16 gauge, 3 conductor cord (50’ 16/3 AWG). Do not use an extension cord
in conjunction with the cord provided with the machine. Replacement cords must meet or exceed the specication of the
original cord.
WARNING: Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A loose connection may result in overheating,
re, and increases the risk of a burning.
Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. When not in use, wrap the
cord carefully around the handle as shown below.
LIFTING AND TRANSPORTATION
CAUTION: Two person lift. Never attempt to lift the machine alone.
• Unplug the cord and wrap it securely around the handle.
• Secure the machine with straps during transport in a vehicle or trailer to prevent damage.
PREPARATION
• Verify the facility and the machine have compatible voltage prior to use (see Safety Instructions).
• Inspect the machine for loose or damaged components.
