GENERAL SAFETY RULES

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

•  Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 
   liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•  To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the 
   other). This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
   into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
   install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
•  Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
   There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•  Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
   risk of electric shock.
•  Do not expose to rain; store indoors.
•  Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
•  Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, 
   or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
•  Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment
   without proper instruction.
•  Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
•  Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
   lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use
   face mask if operation is dusty.
•  Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product.
•  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•  Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
•  Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•  Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts
   may create a hazard or cause product damage.
•  Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
•  Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in any moving parts.
