Keep the extension cord clear of opera-

tor and obstacles at all times. Do not ex-

pose cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp

edges.

Avoid any body contact with any

grounded conductor, such as metal

fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility

of electric shock. Don’t handle plug or

unit with wet hands.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If

unit is not working as it should, has been

dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or

dropped into water, return it to your au-

thorized service dealer for repair.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the cir-

cuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Re-

ceptacles are available having built-in

GFCI protection and may be used for

this measure of safety.

Keep others including children, animals,

bystanders, and helpers a minimum of

30 feet (10 meters) away. Stop the mo-

tor immediately if you are approached.

Do not allow the unit to be used as a toy.

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help

protect against electric shock. Double

insulation construction consists of two

separate “layers” of electrical insula-

tion instead of grounding.

Tools and appliances built with a

double insulation system are not in-

tended to be grounded. No grounding

means is provided on this unit, nor

should a means of grounding be add-

ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-

sion cord used with your unit can be

plugged into any standard 120 volt

electrical outlet. Safety precautions

must be observed when operating any

electrical tool. The double insulation

system only provides added protection

against injury resulting from an internal

electrical insulation failure.

WARNING:

All electrical repairs to

this unit, including housing, switch, mo-

tor, etc., must be diagnosed and re-

paired by qualified service personnel.

Replacement parts for a double insu-

lated appliance must be identical to the

parts they replace. A double insulated

appliance is marked with the words

“double insulation” or “double insu-

lated”. The symbol

(square within a

square) may also be marked on the ap-

pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired

by Sears service personnel can cause

the double insulation construction to be-

come ineffective and result in serious in-

jury.
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY

to stop before disconnecting the unit

from the power source.

Disconnect the unit from the power

source when not in use. Do not leave

the unit when it is plugged into outlet.

Do not set the unit on any surface ex-

cept a clean, hard area while the unit is

running. Debris such as gravel, sand,

dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by

the air intake and thrown out through the

discharge opening, damaging the unit,

property, or causing serious injury to by-

standers or operator.

Do not overreach or use from unstable

surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep

slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care

when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm

footing and balance at all times. Keep

hands out of tubes.

Inspect the entire unit before each use

for worn, loose, missing, or damaged

parts. Do not use until the unit is in

proper working order.

Disconnect unit from power source be-

fore servicing, cleaning, performing

maintenance, or storing.

This unit is double insulated. See the

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
