someone this power tool, loan them these instructions also.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

■  Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension 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 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 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.

■  Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure the blower tubes are 

installed.

■  When not in use, the blower/vacuum should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place - 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.

■  If the power supply cord is damaged, stop using the unit.Take the unit to a qualified service dealer 

for inspection and possible repair.
