SPECIfIC SAfETY RULES fOR BLOWER

• 

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to 

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) 

of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use 

the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized 

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

• 

Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.

• 

never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure the blower tubes are 

installed.

Extension Cord – To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension 

cord during operating, it is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to 

prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, 

then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This 

method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.
