IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE BLOWER
• Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool 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 extension cord plug in any way.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
• Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the
equipment without proper instruction.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses only have impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of eye injury. Use face mask if operation is dusty.
• Wear eye protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating
this product.
Wear hearing protection.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away from openings and
moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into 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.
