Grounding/Electrical Safety
SC-TC-60
•
Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of the equipment.
•
This product must be grounded.
If it should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Grounded
tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any
way.
DANGER!!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS PRODUCT.
•
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) at the plug end of the
cord for electrocution protection.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS DEVICE.
If replacement of the
plug or cord becomes necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include
GFCI protection.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole cord
connectors that accept the plug from the product.
Use only extension cords that are
rated for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking, “Acceptable for
outdoor use; store indoors while not in use”. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one large enough to carry the current the product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the larger the cord.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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. Store unit indoors in a cool, dry area.
•
Don’t roll the unit over the power cord, pull the cord, close the door on the cord or pull the
cord around sharp corners. Keep the cord away from HOT surfaces.
•
Don’t expose unit to rain.
•
Don’t allow water to freeze in unit.
•
Don’t use the machine if it has a damaged cord or plug.
•
Don’t use the unit in an environment or on objects that are above 175° F (79° C).
•
Don’t use unit with children in the immediate area.
