ELECTRICAL

SAFETY

AWARNING:

Avoid a dangerous

environment.

To re-

duce 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 possibility

of electrical

shock.

Do not use on wet surfaces.

Do not

handle extension

cord plug or unit with

wet hands. Avoid dangerous

situations.

Do not use in the presence

of flam-

mable liquids or gases

to avoid creating

a fire or explosion

and/or

causing

dam-

age to unit. 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 handle, close a

door on cord, or pull cord around

sharp

edges or corners. Turn off all controls

before unplugging.

Do not expose

cords

to heat, oil, or water. Do not use with

damaged

cord or plug. If unit is not

working

as it should,

has been

dropped,

damaged,

left outdoors,

or dropped

into

water, return it to your Sears Service

Center for repair. Unplug the unit from

the power source when

not in use, be-

fore servicing,

cleaning,

performing

maintenance,

or storing. Do not put any

object

into openings.

Do not use with

any opening

blocked;

keep free of dust,

lint, hair and anything

that may reduce

air flow.

• Use only a voltage

supply

as shown

on the nameplate

of the unit.

• Avoid dangerous

environments.

Do

not use in unventilated

areas or where

dust or explosive

vapors can build up.

• To reduce the risk of electrical

shock,

use extension

cords specifically

marked

as suitable for outdoor

ap-

pliances.

The electrical

rating of the

cord must not be less than the rating

of the unit. The cord must be marked

with the suffix 'M,t'. Make sure your ex-

tension

cord is in good condition.

In-

spect

extension

cord before

use and

replace if damaged.

An undersized

ex-

tension

cord will cause a drop in line

voltage

resulting

in loss of power and

overheating.

If in doubt, use the next

heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

(NOTE:

The correct size to be used depending

on the cord length is shown

in this

manual.

See SELECT AN EXTENSION

CORD in the ASSEMBLY section).

• Do not use multiple cords.

• Keep the extension

cord clear of oper-

ator and obstacles

at all times.

• Tie cord to cord retainer

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 dis-

connecting

from the unit during

operation.

• Do not attempt

to repair unit. Inspect

the insulation

and connectors

on the

unit and extension

cord before

each

use. If there is any damage,

do not

use until damage

is repaired

by your

Sears Service

Center.

• Do not use the unit if the switch does

not turn the unit on and off properly.

Have the unit repaired

by your Sears

Service Center.

• Avoid accidental

starting.

Be sure the

switch

is in the OFF position and keep

your hand and fingers away from the

switch

while connecting

the unit to the

power source

or when

carrying

a unit

connected

to the power source.

• Avoid any body contact with any

grounded

conductor,

such

as metal

fences,

or pipes, to avoid the possibil-

ity of electric shock.

• Ground

Fault Circuit

Interrupter

(GFCI)

protection

should

be provided

on the

circuit or outlet to be used for this unit.

Receptacles

are available

having

built-

in GFCI

protection

and may be used

for this measure

of safety.

• Stop the motor immediately

if you are

approached.

DOUBLE

INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This

unit is double

insulated

to help

protect

against

electric

shock.

Double

insulation

construction

consists

of two

separate

"layers"

of electrical

insula-

tion instead

of grounding.

Tools and

appliances

built with

a

double

insulation

system

are not in-

tended

to be grounded.

No grounding

means

is provided

on this

unit, nor

should

a means

of grounding

be add-

ed

to this

unit. As a result, the

exten-

sion cord

used with your

unit can be

plugged

into any standard

120 volt

electrical

outlet.

Safety

precautions

must be observed

when

operating

any
