'4(_,WARNING: Avoidadangerousenvi-
ronment.To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or
around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the pos-
sibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet
surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or
unit with wet hands.

•To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-
tension cords specifically marked as suit-
able for outdoor appliances having electri-
cal rating not less than the rating of unit.
Cord must be marked with suffix "W-A" (in
Canada "W'). Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Inspect extension
cord before use and replace if damaged. Do
not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or deteriora-
tion. Plug connectors must beundamaged.
The extension cord used to reach the pow-
er source must be heavy enough to carry
current from the power source the full length
of the extension cord to the unit. An under-
sized extension cord wilt cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavi-
er gauge. The lower the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
• Do not use multiple cords.
• Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by
the extension cord or yank extension cord
to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a han-
dle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not ex-
pose cords to heat, oil, or water.
• Keep the extension cord clear ofoperator and
obstacles at all times. Tie cord to cord retain-
er and connect to recessed plug as shown
in this manual to prevent damage to unit
and/or extension cord and to reduce the
possibility of the extension cord discon-
necting from the unit during operation.
• Do not attempt to repair unit. inspect the insu-
lation and connectors on the powerhead and
extension cord before each use. If there is
any damage, do not use until damage is re-
paired by your authorized service dealer.
• Do not use the powerhead if the switch
does not turn the unit on and off properly.
Have the unit repaired by your authorized
service dealer.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
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.
• Avoid unintentional starting ofthe unit. Nev-
er carry unit with your finger on the switch.
Be sure the switch is in the OFF position
and never touch the switch when connect-
ing extension cord.
• Unplug the unit from the power source when
not in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories and/or attachments.
• Avoid any body contact with any grounded
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit
or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Re-
ceptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
