• said power-supply opening being located along a side of the case and facing at least a substantially horizontal direction;
• motor wiring extending through the power-supply opening and into the motor chamber;
• and
• a gasket fastened to the case in a covering relationship with the power-supply opening,
• said gasket including a first upright wall that spans the power-supply opening and includes a wiring passageway snugly receiving the motor wiring therethrough,
• said gasket including a second upright wall at least partially spaced horizontally from the first upright wall to cooperatively define a pocket that receives the motor wiring extending through the wiring passageway,
