DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated products do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in the product's internal
insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is nominal 120V/60Hz
AC (typical household circuit). Do not operate this product
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product
does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, possibly
resulting in overheating, loss of power, and/or circuit breaker
or GFCI tripping. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire
size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make a knot, then connect the plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This
method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.

Cord Length
NOTE: A.W.G. = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or
other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use the product with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
See Figure 2.
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI), which guards against the hazards of ground fault
currents. An example of ground fault current is the current
that would flow through a person who is using an appliance
with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact
with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet
floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads,
or shocks.
NOTE: To ensure readiness for use, press the reset button
each time you connect the pressure washer to the power
supply.
The GFCI plug can be tested with the TEST and RESET
buttons.
To test:
Press the TEST button. You will hear a "click" sound and
the red LED light will go out.
To restore power, press the RESET button. The LED light
will illuminate to indicate power has been restored.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the
GFCI.
To reduce the risk of electric shock the supervisory
circuit must be operated before an appliance is
plugged into any receptacle on the device.
