IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers, or any
other toxic substances. Spreading these substances could
result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such
as cigarette matches or hot ashes.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce air flow.
Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and
accessories. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
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 identical to the
parts they replace.
For household use only.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 25 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 blower/vac 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.
When used as a blower, always install the blower tubes.
When used as a vacuum, 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.
Do not operate vacuum without vacuum bag installed;
flying debris could cause serious injury. Always close
vacuum bag completely before operating.
Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Stop
the engine before opening the vacuum door or installing/
changing tubes. Do not put hands or any other object into
the vacuum tubes while they are installed on the unit.
Avoid situations that could catch the vacuum bag on
fire. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not vacuum
warm ash from fireplaces, barbeque pits, brush piles, etc.
Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the
cinders are completely cool.
When not in use, blower/vac 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.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service
center to avoid risk.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.

Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this power tool.
