OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION CORD
TABLE 1
1.
When using the appliance, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. See Table 1.
2.
The extension cord must be specifically designed for outdoor use and marked “SW-A”, “SOW-A”, “STW-A”, “STOW-
A”, “SJW-A”, “SJOW-A”, “SJTOW-A”, “SJTW-A”, or “SJTW”.
3.
Inspect extension power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. If damaged, replace before using
appliance.
4.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the extension cord, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, do not use that extension cord. Do not change the plug in any way.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE BLOWER
/VAC
This unit is equipped with an OFF/LOW/HIGH switch .
For low speed operation, slide the switch up to the first
click (A).
To select high speed, slide the switch up to the second
click (B). To turn the unit off, slide the switch all the way
down (C). (Fig. 14)
OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 15 and sweep from
side to side with the nozzle several inches above the
ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the accumulat-
ed pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low
speed than high. Of course, you may choose to use
either and you'll probably find the high speed better for
moving heavier items like large debris or gravel.
1.
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and
hard-to-clean areas .
2.
Use the blower around buildings and for other nor-
mal cleaning.
3.
Use the blower for walls, overhangs and screens.
(Fig. 15)
To reduce the risk
of electric shock,
this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). The outdoor exten-
sion cord used with the unit must also be
polarized. The plug on the extension cord
will fit into the unit only one way. If the plug
doesn't fit fully into the unit, reverse the
plug. If it does not fit, use a cord with a
correct connection. If the cord does not fit
into the power supply outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. DO NOT change the plug on the
extension cord or unit in any way.
