WARNING!
Flying debris can cause serious personal
injury to the operator, bystanders or pets. Keep bystanders
and pets at least 16 ft (5 m) away from the area of work and
always wear suitable eye and ear protection, long pants and
sturdy shoes or boots while operating the tool.

WARNING!
Check damaged parts. Before further
use of the appliance, a guard of other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

WARNING!
A damaged extension cord can cause
electric shock or a fire. Please inspect the extension cord
periodically. The tool must not be used if the cord is damaged
in any way. Replace a damaged extension cord before use.
1. Use a heavy duty extension cord, suitable for outdoor use
and so marked. An ordinary duty extension cord will cause
loss of power and may overheat.
2. Keep the extension cord behind you, away from the area
of operation.
3. 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. 5).
4. Plug the female end of the electrical cord into the
receptacle at the back of the unit.
Starting and Stopping
1. To start the electric blower, slide the ON/OFF switch to the
(I) position (Figs. 6 & 7).
2. To switch off, move the switch to the “0” position (Fig. 8).
m
WARNING!
The tool runs for approximately 5 seconds
after it has been switched off. Let the motor come to a
complete standstill before setting the tool down.
