WARNING:
SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED
BLOWER
All electrical repairs to this unit, including
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag-
nosed and repaired by an authorized ser-
vice dealer. Replacement parts for a
double insulated appliance must be iden-
tical to the parts they replace. A double in-
sulated appliance is marked with the
words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE
INSULATED.” The symbol (square within a
square) may also be marked on the ap-
pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired
by an authorized service dealer can
cause the double insulation construction
to become ineffective and result in serious
injury.
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY
S Do not set the unit on any surface ex-
cept a clean, hard area while the unit is
running. Debris such as gravel, sand,
dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by
the air intake and thrown out through the
discharge opening, damaging the unit,
property, or causing serious injury to by-
standers or operator.
S Do not overreach or use from unstable
surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep
slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care
when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm
footing and balance at all times. Keep
hands out of tubes.
S Inspect the entire unit before each use
for worn, loose, missing, or damaged
parts. Do not use until the unit is in
proper working order.
S This unit is double insulated. See the
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
section. Have all internal service per-
formed by qualified service repair per-
sonnel to avoid creating a hazard or
voiding your warranty.
S Have all maintenance other than the
recommended procedures described in
the instruction manual performed by
your authorized service dealer.
S Always see your authorized service
dealer to replace a damaged impeller.
Parts that are chipped, cracked, broken,
or damaged in any other way can fly
apart and cause serious injury. Replace
damaged parts before using the unit.
S Never place any object in the air intake
opening as this could restrict proper air
flow and cause damage to the unit.
S Do not use multiple cords.
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator
and obstacles at all times.
S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to
recessed plug as shown in this manual to
prevent damage to unit and/or extension
cord and to reduce the possibility of the
extension cord disconnecting from the
unit during operation.
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the
insulation and connectors on the unit
and extension cord before each use. If
there is any damage, do not use until
damage is repaired by your authorized
service dealer.
S Do not use the unit if the switch does not
turn the unit on and off properly. Have the
unit repaired by your authorized service
dealer.
S Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
switch is in the OFF position and keep
your hand and fingers away from the
switch while connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit con-
nected to the power source.
S Avoid any body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the cir-
cuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Re-
ceptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
S Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-
proached.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help pro-
tect against electric shock. Double insula-
tion construction consists of two separate
“layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances built with
a double insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should
a means of grounding be added to this
unit. As a result, the extension cord used
with your unit can be plugged into any
standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety
precautions must be observed when op-
erating any electrical tool. The double in-
sulation system only provides added pro-
tection against injury resulting from an
internal electrical insulation failure.

S Never douse the unit with water or other
liquids or squirt with a water hose. Clean
the unit using a damp cloth. Wipe off
with a clean dry cloth. See MAINTE-
NANCE.
S Check air intake openings and tubes
frequently, always with the unit stopped
and power source disconnected. Keep
vents and tubes free of debris which can
accumulate and restrict proper air flow.
S Do not burn, incinerate, or expose this
unit to extreme heat.
S Store the unit unplugged in a high, cool,
dry, indoor area out of the reach of chil-
dren.
S To avoid spreading fire, do not use blow-
er near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces,
barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
S Never place objects inside the blower
tubes; always direct the blowing debris
away from people, animals, glass, and
solid objects such as trees, automo-
biles, walls, etc. The force of air can
cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown
or to ricochet which can hurt people or
animals, break glass, or cause other
damage.
S Never use for spreading chemicals, fer-
tilizers, or any other substances which
may contain toxic materials.
S Use only recommended attachments
and replacement parts to avoid creating
a hazard and/or voiding warranty.
S Maintain the unit according to recom-
mended procedures.

BLOWER SAFETY
S Use only in daylight or in good artificial
light.

Remove all debris and hard objects
such as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that can
ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause
injury or damage during operation.
S Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a
blower, always install a blower tube. Use
only recommended attachments. Do
not use with any opening blocked, Keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything that
may reduce air flow.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
S To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
unit 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 ex-
tension 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 re-
quire the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall out-
let 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 electri-
cian to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension
cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
