This product is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the power cord plug. This device provides
additional protection from the risk of
electric shock. If power is interrupted in
the line, the GFCI will automatically re-
close the circuit to the load after power is
restored. Depending on the GFCI model,
it may be necessary to manually operate
the reset button to restore power to the
GFCI load circuit. If replacement of the
plug or cord is needed use identical
replacement parts.
Learn how to stop the machine and
release pressure quickly. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls.

and knowledge of the system, and should
be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated product must be
