IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Do not operate power tools in explosive environments (such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases, or dust), or use to pick up ammable or combustible liquids,

■ Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.

■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)

and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will t into a polarized extension

cord only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the

use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will t into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug

increase the risk of electric shock.

■ Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.

■ Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A,

or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

■ Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without

proper instruction.

■ Wear eye protection with side shields which are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as

hearing protection when operating this product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch is not on before plugging in.

■ Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from the power outlet when not in use, before

servicing, and before storing the tool. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Such preventative

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

■ Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

■ Do not use with a damaged plug. If the tool is not working as it should or has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a qualied service dealer for inspection and

possible repair.

■ Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.

or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.

■ Never use blower near res, replaces, hot ashes, barbecue pits, etc., which may cause re to

spread.

■ Do not pull, carry or use cord as handle, close a door on the cord, or pull cord around sharp edges

or corners. Do not run appliances over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

■ Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

■ Use only identical manufacturers replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts may

create a hazard or cause product damage.

■ 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

one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least

14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

■ Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.

■ Never place the blower/vacuum on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when the motor is

running. Gravel, sand, and other debris can be picked up by the air inlet and thrown at the operator

or bystanders, causing possible serious injuries.
