WARNING: 

In  order  to  reduce  the  risk  of 

electric  shock,  this  Blower/Vac  is  equipped 

with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than 

the other), which must be used with a polar-

ized extension cord.

This Blower/Vac's plug will only fit into a polarized exten-

sion cord one way. If the plug does not fit into the exten-

sion cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does 

not fit, use the correct type of polarized extension cord.

A polarized extension cord must be used with a polarized 

wall outlet. The plug will only fit into a polarized wall outlet 

one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet properly, 

reverse  the  plug.  If  the  plug  still  does  not  fit,  contact  a 

qualified electrician to install the proper type of outlet. Do 

not alter the plug on the Blower/Vac, the receptacle on the 

extension cord, or the plug on the extension cord in any 

way.

Pull  the  loop  in  the  extension  cord  over  the  securing 

hook as shown, and pull it tight (Fig. 11).

Connect  the  male  end  of  the  Blower/Vac  cord  to  the 

female end of the extension cord as shown (Fig. 12).

This  Blower/Vac  is  equipped  with  a  three-way  power 

switch (OFF/LOW/HIGH) (Fig. 13):

Slide the switch to the (0) position in order to turn the 

Blower/Vac OFF .

Slide the switch to the (1) position for LOW speed.

Slide the switch to the (2) position for HIGH speed.

Once the Blower/Vac is plugged in, stand in the operating 

position  (Fig.  14).  Slide  the  power/speed  switch  to  the 

LOW or HIGH position in order to start the Blower/Vac. To 

stop the Blower/Vac, slide the switch to the OFF position 

(Fig. 13).
