SAerv!cing of Double Insulated
ppllances
Your BlowerNac isdouble-insulated to
give you added safety. In a double insulated
appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double
insulated appliance requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system and should
be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insulated
appliance must be identicalto the parts they
replace. A double insulated appliance is marked
with the words double insulated or "double
insulation". The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
_Safety Rules and Instructions:
Extension Cords
Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords
and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed
extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L) (C.S.A.
in Canada). If the extension wilt be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor
can also be used for indoor work.
An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. Before using
an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires, damaged insulation, and
defective fittings. Make any needed repairs
or replace the cord if necessary.
To determine the minimum wire size
required, refer to the chart:
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

Polarized Plug. , ,
To reduce the risK or electric ShOCk,this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This equipment
must be used with a suitable polarized 2
wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized
connections will fit together only one way.
Make sure that the receptacle end of the
extension cord has large and small blade
slot widths. Ifthe plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension
cord. Ifthe extension cord does not fit fully
into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the toot plug or extension cord in any way.

ON/OFF SWITCH (FIGURE L)
BV6600
Your blower/vac is fitted with a variable
speed switch located on the top of the
power head below the handle.
• To turn the tool ON, rotate the knob
clockwise. The further the knob is
rotated, the higher the air speed.
• To turn toot OFF, rotate the knob
counterclockwise to the off position (0).
BV5600 & BVd000
Your blower/vac is fitted with a two speed
switch located on the top of the power
head below the handle.
• To use in low speed, rotate the knob
clockwise to Position I. To use in high
speed, rotate the knob clockwise to
Position II.
• To turn tool OFF, rotate the knob
counterclockwise to the off position (0).
CORD RETAINER (FIGURE M)
• A cord retainer is incorporated into the
rear of the power head. It can be used in
two different ways:
• To use the cord retainer as shown in
figure M1, hook the extension cord under
the retainer. Then plug the cord from the
power head into the extension cord.
• To use the cord retainer as shown in
figure M2, loop the extension cord over
the power head cord and plug the two
ends into each other. Then hook the
extension cord under the retainer.

motion from side to side, advance slowly
keeping the accumulated debris/leaves in
front of you as shown in figure N.
• Once you have blown the debris/leaves
into a pile, you can convert to vacuum
mode to collect the debris.
• Using the air concentrator will help
remove matted debris and leaves.
• Using the leaf blaster attachment will
help move air back and forth to remove
stubborn debris from grassy areas.
USE AS A VACUUM:

CLEANING AND STORAGE
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL! (Unplug
extension cord at power source.)
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid. Clean out any clippings which
may have accumulated in the BIowerNac.
When used properly with dry leaves the fan
chamber of your BlowerNac should remain
clean. If damp earth and debris are ingested
some of the particles may build up on the
inside of the fan chamber. Ifthis happens
the performance of the unit will decrease.
This area can be cleaned out using a
wooden stick as shown in figure S after
disconnecting from the power source. Your
BlowerNac should be stored in a dry place.
WARNING: SHOCK
HAZARD. DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY
WATER ON THE TOOL IN AN ATTEMPT
TO CLEAN.
Do not store the toot on or adjacent to
fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can
cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts.
IMPORTANT: Toassureproduct
