To avoid the possibility of the tool plug getting wet when
using an extension cord, arrange a "drip loop" in the cord
connecting the pressure washer to the extension cord. The
"drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the
connector which prevents water travelling along the cord
and coming in contact with the connection. If the plug does
get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool, then unplug
and examine for presence of water in the connection.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
