SAFETY

1.3 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1.4 OPERATION SAFETY

1. Use the machine only with extension cords suitable for
outdoor use to prevent shock. Suitable extension cords
are extremely important for the operator's personal
safety. Wire size should be 14 gauge or larger, and
the cord should be no longer than 100 feet.
2. Never use an indoor extension cord.
3. Ensure the power cord is in good condition. A cord with
cracked or broken insulation is hazardous, particularly
in the presence of moisture or combustible material.
It is also important that the connectors be of rugged
construction, in good condition, and securely attached
to the outer jacket.
4. Remove the extension cord immediately from the wall
receptacle if the power cord is damaged in any manner.
5. Use only an electric circuit having adequate capacity.
6. Determine the cause and take corrective action if a fuse
is blowing or circuit breaker is tripping. Blowing a fuse
or tripping a circuit breaker is a warning the machine is
overloading, or too many devices are taking power from
the circuit, or both. Do not install a higher capacity fuse.
7. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull a machine by
the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the
power cord away from excessive heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Keep power cords out of the water.
8. Disconnect the machine when not in use, before servicing, and when changing attachments.
9. Always use a 110V ground fault circuit interrupter.
