WARNING: When using this product basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when a product is used near children. Be thoroughly familiar with controls. Know how to stop the product and release pressure quickly. Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate product when you are tired. Do not rush. Do not operate the product while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

This product is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter built into the power cord plug. If replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts. WARNING: Risk of injection or injury - Do not direct discharge stream at persons. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adaptor with this product. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection. EXTENSION CORDS See Figure 1. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong groundingtype plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands. To avoid the possibility of the product plug or outlet getting wet, the operator should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord connecting the product to the outlet. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet. 2 - English
