gauge. The smaller the gauge number,

the heavier the cord. (

NOTE:

The correct

size to be used depending on the cord

length is shown in this manual. See

SE-

LECT AN EXTENSION CORD

in the

AS-

SEMBLY

section).

S

Do not use multiple cords.

S

Keep the extension cord clear of operator

and obstacles at all times.

S

Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to

recessed plug as shown in this manual to

prevent damage to unit and/or extension

cord and to reduce the possibility of the

extension cord disconnecting from the

unit during operation.

S

Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the

insulation and connectors on the unit

and extension cord before each use. If

there is any damage, do not use until

damage is repaired by your authorized

service dealer.

S

Do not use the unit if the switch does not

turn the unit on and off properly. Have the

unit repaired by your authorized service

dealer.

S

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the

switch is in the

OFF

position and keep

your hand and fingers away from the

switch while connecting the unit to the

power source or when carrying a unit con-

nected to the power source.

S

Avoid any body contact with any

grounded conductor, such as metal

fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of

electric shock.

S

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the cir-

cuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Re-

ceptacles are available having built-in

GFCI protection and may be used for this

measure of safety.

S

Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-

proached.

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help pro-

tect against electric shock. Double insula-

tion construction consists of two separate

“layers” of electrical insulation instead of

grounding. Tools and appliances built with

a double insulation system are not in-

tended to be grounded. No grounding

means is provided on this unit, nor should

a means of grounding be added to this

unit. As a result, the extension cord used

with your unit can be plugged into any

standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety

precautions must be observed when op-

erating any electrical tool. The double in-

sulation system only provides added pro-

tection against injury resulting from an

internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING:

SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED

BLOWER

All electrical repairs to this unit, including

housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag-

nosed and repaired by an authorized ser-

vice dealer. Replacement parts for a

double insulated appliance must be iden-

tical to the parts they replace. A double in-

sulated appliance is marked with the

words

“DOUBLE INSULATION”

or

“DOUBLE

INSULATED.”

The symbol (square within a

square)

may also be marked on the ap-

pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired

by an authorized service dealer can

cause the double insulation construction

to become ineffective and result in serious

injury.

UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY

S

Do not set the unit on any surface ex-

cept a clean, hard area while the unit is

running. Debris such as gravel, sand,

dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by

the air intake and thrown out through the

discharge opening, damaging the unit,

property, or causing serious injury to by-

standers or operator.

S

Do not overreach or use from unstable

surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep

slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care

when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm

footing and balance at all times. Keep

hands out of tubes.

S

Inspect the entire unit before each use

for worn, loose, missing, or damaged

parts. Do not use until the unit is in

proper working order.

S

This unit is double insulated. See the

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION

section. Have all internal service per-

formed by qualified service repair per-

sonnel to avoid creating a hazard or

voiding your warranty.

S

Have all maintenance other than the

recommended procedures described in

the instruction manual performed by

your authorized service dealer.

S

Always see your authorized service

dealer to replace a damaged impeller.

Parts that are chipped, cracked, broken,

or damaged in any other way can fly

apart and cause serious injury. Replace

damaged parts before using the unit.

S

Never place any object in the air intake

opening as this could restrict proper air

flow and cause damage to the unit.
