WHEN USING THIS BLOWER
•
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, the batttery charger has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will only fit into a polarized
extension cord one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit into the polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
