D
D
D
D
D
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (including smoking, open flames, or work that
can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is
mixed, poured, or stored.
Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area; store
fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; use
an approved, marked container for all fuel
purposes.
Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the unit.
Make sure the attachment is properly assembled and in good operating condition.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running.
Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up fuel spills
before starting engine.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from
fuel and fueling site before starting engine.
Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable liquids.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric
powerheads)
WARNING: Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or
around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the possibility of electrical shock. Do not handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands.
D Use only a voltage supply as shown on the
nameplate of the powerhead.
D Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in
presence of flammable liquids or gases to
avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit.
D Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use
in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up
D To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances. The electrical rating of the cord must not be less than
the rating of the unit. The cord must be
marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Canada,
“W”). Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
D Do not use multiple cords.
D The powerhead may have a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other); if so, it
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 plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If it 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.
D Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insulation and connectors on the powerhead and
extension cord before each use. If there is
any damage, do not use until damage is repaired by your authorized service dealer.
D Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord
as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by
pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
D Do not use the powerhead if the switch
does not turn the unit on and off properly.

Have the unit repaired by your authorized
service dealer.
Keep the extension cord clear of operator and
obstacles at all times. Do not expose 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
powerhead is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to your authorized service dealer for repair.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit
or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
Your powerhead should be double insulated
to help protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not intended to
be grounded.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 repairs to an electric
powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The
symbol
(square within a square) may also
be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by your authorized service
dealer can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in
serious injury.
BLOWER SAFETY
WARNING: Never put hands or other
objects into blower housing to avoid serious
injury from the rotating impeller.
