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

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extention
cord, be sure to use 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 exten-
sion cord 50’ (15m) 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, children or pets.
• When used as a blower, always install the blower tubes. When used as a vacu-
um, always install the vacuum tubes and vacuum bag. Make sure the vacuum
bag is completely zipped when the unit is running to avoid flying debris
• When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in a dry, in a secure location
out of the reach of children.
• Maintain tool with care. Keep fan area clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for proper maintenance.
• Do not attempt to clear clogs from tool without first unplugging it.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain, do not use on wet sur-
faces. Store indoors.
• Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
• Store the unit in a dry area, locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage,
and stored in a high place, out of the reach of children.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry,
clean and free of debris. Clean after each use. See Maintenance instructions.
WHILE OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Never point the blower in the direction of people, children or pets, or in the
direction of windows. Use extra caution when blowing debris near solid
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove extension cord plug
from power source outlet before maintaining your blower/vacuum/mulcher.
COLLECTION BAG
CAUTION:
NEVER UNZIP THE COLLECTION BAG WITHOUT FIRST TURNING OFF AND
UNPLUGGING THE VACUUM/MULCHER.
NOTE: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full, the vacuum collection tube is
probably clogged with debris. Turn off and unplug the vacuum/mulcher and clear the
collection tube before continuing.
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. Clean out any clippings which
may have accumulated inside the blower/vacuum/mulcher. When used properly with
dry leaves the impeller housing should remain clean. If damp earth and debris are
vacuumed, some of the particles may build up on the inside of the impeller housing.
If this happens, the performance of the unit will decrease. This area can be cleaned
out by gently wiping out with a damp rag after disconnecting from the power source.
Your blower/vacuum/mulcher should be stored in a dry place.
WARNING:
Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage plastic parts. Some of
these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents which contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types
of cleaning agents will minimize the possibility of damage.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE TOOL IN AN ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage
can cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY - UNPLUG CLEANER BEFORE SERVICING
