ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
(for electric
powerheads)
_/L WARNING:
Avoid a dangerous
environment.
To reduce the risk of elec-
trical 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 possi-
bility of electrical shock. Do not use on
wet surfaces. Do not handle extension
cord plug or unit with wet hands.
• Use only a voltage
supply as shown
on the nameplate
of the unit.
• Avoid dangerous
situations.
Do not
use in presence of flammable
liquids
or gases to avoid creating a fire or
explosion
and/or causing
damage to
unit.
• Avoid dangerous
environments.
Do
not use in unventilated
areas or
where dust or explosive
vapors can
build up.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the powerhead
may have a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than
the other); if so, it will require the use
of a polarized
extension
cord. The
appliance
plug will fit into a polarized
extension
cord only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the exten-
sion cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized
extension
cord. A polar-
ized extension
cord will require the
use of a polarized
wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized
wall
outlet only one way. If plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician
to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment
plug, extension
cord
receptacle,
or extension
cord plug in
any way.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock,
use extension
cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap-
pliances having electrical
rating not
less than the rating of unit. Cord
must be marked with suffix "W-A"
(in
Canada
"W"). Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition.
In-
spect 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 be un-
damaged.
The extension
cord used
to reach the power 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 will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting
in loss
of power and overheating.
If in
doubt, use the next heavier 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 handle, 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 of op-
erator 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
disconnecting
from the unit during
operation.
• Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect
the insulation and connectors on the
powerhead
and extension cord before
each use. If there is any damage, do
not use until damage is repaired 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,
dam-
aged, left outdoors,
or dropped into
water, return it to your authorized
service dealer for repair.Avoid
unintentional
starting of the unit.
Never carry unit with your finger on
the switch. Be sure the switch is in
the OFF position and never touch the
switch when connecting
extension
cord.Unplug
the unit from the power
source when not in use, before servic-
ing, and when changing accessories
and/or attachments.
• Avoid any body contact
with any
grounded
conductor,
such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possi-
bility of electric shock.
• Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection should
be pro-
vided on the circuit or outlet to be
used for the powerhead.
Recep-
tacles are available
having built-in
GFCl protection and may be used
for this measure
of safety.
