Connecting to a Power
Source
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this machine has a polarized
plug (i.e., one blade is wider than the other). Use only a
polarized plug, UL-listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension
cord recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a
polarized cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
cord, reverse the cord. If it still does not fit, purchase a polarized
extension cord. If you have a polarized extension cord and the
extension cord plug does not fit fully into the wall receptacle,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the machine or
extension cord plug in any way.
DANGER
Contact with water while operating the machine could
cause electric shock, causing injury or death.
•
Do not handle the plug or the machine with wet
hands or while standing in water.
•
Use only an extension cord recommended for
outdoor cold-weather use.
