Operation
Connecting to a Power Source
1. Secure the extension cord to the motor housing using the
cord retainer located at the rear of the blower. Securing
the extension cord in this manner prevents accidental
removal of the electrical cord during operation (Fig. 3).
2. Plug the female end of the electrical cord into the cord
receptacle at the back of the unit.
Starting + Stopping
1. To start the electric blower, slide the ON/OFF switch to the
"1" position (Fig. 4 & 5).
2. To reach maximal speed, move the switch to the "2"
position (Fig. 6).
3. To stop the unit, slide the ON/OFF switch to position (0)
(Fig. 4).
Operating Tips
mWARNING! Use the electric blower only in daylight or
good articial light.
• When using the electric blower, plant your feet rmly on
the ground and place your dominant hand on the unit
handle to control the unit. Use your other hand to steady
the unit as needed.
• Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• Make sure the blower tube nozzle is not directed at
anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure
the tubes and guards are in place and secure.
• Keep a rm grip on the unit handle while in use.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
increased sound levels, hearing protection is required.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday
through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate
power blowers at the lowest possible speed setting
necessary to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and
gardens.
