SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES

Your Blower is double-insulated to give you added safety. 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. Adouble insulated appliance is marked with the words double insulated or "double insulation". The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

SAFETY RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.

BEFORE OPERATING

• SECURING POWER SUPPLY CORD - Secure the extension cord in the tool's built-in cord retainer as shown in Figure 7 or secure the power supply cord and a suitable extension cord as shown in Figure 8.

SWITCH

NOTE: The switch will not operate if the release button, shown in Figure 1, is depressed.

To turn the tool ON, slide the switch forward, as shown in Figure 1. To turn tool OFF, slide switch to the rear.

OPERATION

USE AS A BLOWER: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, WEAR A FILTER MASK IF THE OPERATION IS DUSTY. USE OF RUBBER GLOVES AND SUBSTANTIAL FOOTWEAR IS RECOMMENDED WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

• BLOWER MODE

Ensure that the unit is switched OFF and is disconnected from the power supply. Assemble blow tube as shown in Figure 2. (This only needs to be done the first time you assemble the unit.)

WARNING: When turning the tool off for tube installation or any other reason, wait 10

seconds for the fan to stop rotating before disassembly.

Attach the blower tube assembly (The assembly includes the blower tubes, the fan chamber and the blower air speed control mechanism) to the front of the tool, as shown in Figure 3 by inserting point A into the matching recess marked point B, also shown in Figure 3. Swing the tube up to engage the lock, as shown in Figure 4.

NOTE: The lock will not engage if the ON/OFF switch is in the forward (ON) position.

Hold the end of the blower tube approximately 7 inches (180mm) above the ground and turn the tool ON. Using a sweeping motion, from side to side, advance slowly keeping the accumulated debris (leaves,grass clippings etc.) in front of you, as shown in Figure 5.

• BLOWER AIR SPEED CONTROL

Your Blower has a variable air speed feature that allows you to select the air speed that best fits your needs. To adjust the air speed, simply slide the collar. This will allow movement over the full range of 1 3/4 in.(44.5mm).With the slide collar in the "A" position, as shown in Figure 6, the maximum blower speed will be 200 mph (320 kph). When pushed forward to position "C" ( as far from the tool housing as possible; about 1 3/4 in.{44.5mm}) the speed will be approximately 140 mph (225 kph). Position "B" (midway between the two) permits infinite adjustment between positions "A" and "C". A little practice will help you determine what is the best speed for your application.

• REMOVING THE BLOWER TUBE ASSEMBLY

Switch off the unit and unplug from the outlet. To disconnect the blower tube assembly from the tool, depress the release button, shown

in Figure 1, ensuring that the tube does not fall to the ground.

NOTE: The release button will not depress if the ON/OFF switch is in the forward (ON) position.
