GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
HDS 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 only:
This product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the
power cord plug. This device provides addi-
tional protection from the risk of electric
shock. If power is interrupted in the line, the
GFCI will automatically re-close the circuit
to the load after power is restored. Depend-
ing on the GFCI model, it may be neces-
sary to manually operate the reset button to
restore power to the GFCI load circuit. If re-
placement of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
