GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power-supply
cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk
of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord
become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that
include GFCI protection.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
"Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors
while not in use. " Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product.
Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension
cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always
disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and OFF the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing
a double-insulated product requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated product must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the
words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED. " The
symbol may also be marked on the product.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known
to State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers,
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides
and pesticides,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
wear approved safety equipment such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
