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 ex-  
tension cord plug in any way.  
S 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 exten-  
sion 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 re-  
sulting in loss of power and overheating.  
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.  
The smaller the gauge number, the  
heavier the cord. (NOTE: The correct  
size to be used depending on the cord  
length is shown in this manual. See SE-  
LECT AN EXTENSION CORD in the AS-  
SEMBLY section).  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S Keep the extension cord clear of opera-  
tor 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 exten-  
sion 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 ser-  
vice 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  
connected to the power source.

this measure of safety.  
S Stop the motor immediately if you are  
approached.  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
CONSTRUCTION  
This unit is double insulated to help  
protect against electric shock. Double  
insulation construction consists of two  
separate “layers” of electrical insula-  
tion 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 add-  
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-  
sion cord used with your unit can be  
plugged into any standard 120 volt  
electrical outlet. 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 electrical repairs to this unit, including  
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag-  
nosed and repaired by qualified service  
personnel. 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 insu-  
lated”. The symbol  
(square within a  
square) may also be marked on the ap-  
pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired  
by authorized service personnel 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 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

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.  
BLOWER SAFETY  
S Use only in daylight or in good artificial  
light.  
S Inspect the area before using the unit.  
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 using the  
blower, always install blower tube. Use  
only recommended attachments.  
S To avoid spreading fire, do not use blow-  
er near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces,  
barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.  
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 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 tube fre-  
quently, always with the unit stopped  
and power source disconnected. Keep  
vents and tube 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 Never place objects inside the blower  
tube; 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.
