- To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock – Do Not Expose To Rain – Store Indoors
- Do not pull or carry by cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Turn off all controls before unplugging.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only 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 fit into the polarized wall outlet only 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 extension cord plug in any way.
- In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
- No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
- Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
- Do not handle plugs or appliances with wet hands.
- Do not leave the appliance when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
- Do not use a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
- This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or SJTW.
- Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your appliance. The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG) (WHEN USING 120 V ONLY)
| Ampere Rating | Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters) |
|---|---|
| More Than | Not More Than |
(7.6 m)
| 50′ (15 m)| 100′ (30.4 m)| 150′ (45.7 m)
0| 6| 18| 16| 16| 14
6| 10| 18| 16| 14| 12
10| 12| 16| 16| 14| 12
12| 16| 14| 12| Not Recommended
- To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose electrical connection between the appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord.
- Periodically check the connection while operating to ensure it is fully attached.
- Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A loose connection may result in overheating, and fire, and increases the risk of burning.
- To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord from the extension cord during operation:
- Make a knot as shown in the figure.
- Maintain appliance with care – Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
CHILD SAFETY

- Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. Stay alert and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
- Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this blower. Children who are 14 years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
- Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the blower.
WARNING (Proposition 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints, Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
POLARIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
