General Safety WARNINGS!
When using the electric cultivator, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
m WARNING :
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance
plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use
of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way. Before using the cultivator,
take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls, especially
how to stop the cultivator in an emergency. Only allow
responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding
of these instructions to operate the cultivator. Never allow
children to operate the cultivator. Retain this manual for future
reference and reread it at the start of each cultivating session.
