SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GAS UNITS
WARNING:
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors
can explode if ignited. Take the following precautions:
•
Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and approved
for the storage of such materials.
•
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the
tank. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel when the
engine is hot. Always loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve
any pressure in the tank before fueling.
•
Always mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area
where there are no sparks or flames. DO NOT smoke.
•
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
•
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Wipe up any
spilled fuel from the unit immediately, before starting the unit.
Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source and
site before starting the engine. DO NOT smoke.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
only extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-
A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. Extension
cords are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition.
When using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current that your unit will draw. An
undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. See the operator's manual for
the unit that will power this attachment for the recommended
cord size.
Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the
insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage. Replace
the cords if any defects or damage appear.
Prevent disconnection of the powerhead from the extension
cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle retaining strap,
connector, or by making a knot (Fig. A).
Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate your unit in damp
or wet conditions. Moisture is a shock hazard.
Do not use the unit in the rain. Do not use in or around water.
Do not handle the plug or unit with wet hands or standing on
any wet surfaces.
Do not leave the unit plugged in when not in use, changing
attachments or while being serviced.
