INSPECTING EXTENSION CORDS
SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS
This tool is double-insulated, which means that two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
There is no grounding provided, and no means of ground-
ing should be added to this tool.
Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required
when servicing a double-insulated tool. Service should be
performed by qualified service personnel only. Replace-
ment parts for a double-insulated tool must be identical to
the parts that they replace. Call the Toll-Free Helpline (1-
866-523-5218” for information concerning repairs.
Double-insulated tools are marked with the words “double
insulation” or “double insulated.”
WARNING:
In order to avoid serious
personal injury, turn the Blower/Vac off and
unplug it before cleaning or servicing.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the
Blower/Vac. Do not use strong detergents, household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils, such as pine and
lemon, or solvents such as kerosene. These substances
can damage the plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any
moisture using a soft cloth.
In order to avoid deterioration and obstructing the air
flow, which will reduce the performance of the vacuum,
empty the bag after each use.
Wear eye protection and a dust mask when emptying
the vacuum bag. Turn the bag inside-out after empty-
ing it, and vigorously shake out the remaining dust and
debris.
a. Remove the vacuum bag.
b. Turn the bag inside out.
c. Hang it up.
d. Hose it down thoroughly.
e. Hang it in order to dry it.
f. Turn the bag right-side-out, and re-install it.
Store the Blower/Vac in a locked location in order to
prevent unauthorized use or damage.
Store the Blower/Vac in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Store the Blower/Vac out of the reach of children.
Inspect extension cords on a regular basis. Look closely
for deterioration, cuts, or cracks in the insulation. Inspect
the connectors for damage. Replace the extension cord if
it is defective or damaged.
