MK-SDG-7 SAFETY
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. A Ground Fault Cir-
cuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this machine.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of
safety. When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power source, fol-
lowed by the extension cord and lastly, the machine.
WARNING
Do Not use in wet conditions
DANGER
WARNING
Use only extensions 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 ex-
tension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cords away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnection the product
from the extension cord.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the

Use of undersize extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in motor burnout and
premature failure. MK Diamond warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a
low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords will be repaired or replaced totally
at the customers expense. There will be no warranty claim.
