Electrical Safety; Double-Insulated Appliances - sunjoe SWJ700E Manual Del Operador

Electrical safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric chain saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on
the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

WARNING
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric chain saw to
make contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe
+ Sun Joe SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension
®
cord with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit
sunjoe.com to purchase this extension cord online
or, to order by phone, call 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe
SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord with lighted
end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit sunjoe.com to purchase
this extension cord online or, to order by phone, call

The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit
fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. The extension cord 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 modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in
any way.
5. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from
the extension cord during operation, use the on-board
extension cord restraint hook and/or make a knot as
shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Method of Securing Extension Cord
Cord set
(A) Tie cord as shown
(B) Connect plug and receptacle
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the chain saw by the
cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

Double-Insulated Appliances

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means are
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be performed only by qualified
service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe
dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words "Double Insulation" or
"Double Insulated." The symbol
may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
