_ WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND •
ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
APPLIANCE. Failure to follow all instructions •
listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
and/or serious personal injury.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS BLOWER
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which 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 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 aqualified •
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.
• Wear eye protection with side shields which are
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as
hearing protection when operating this product.
• Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• 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 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.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could
get caught in moving parts of the machine or its
motor.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot
or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight
footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect
your feet and improve your footing on slippery
surfaces.
Do not use on steps, a ladder, roof top, tree, or other
unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the blower in unexpected
situations.
• Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to
prevent entanglement in any moving parts.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch
is not on before plugging in. Turn switch off before
unplugging.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working
as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an
authorized service center.
• Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from
the power outlet when not in use, before servicing,
and before storing the tool. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50
ft. away.

,_k WARNING: This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities may contain chemicals, including lead, known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
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.

Failure to keep loose clothing from being drawn into air intake
could result in personal injury.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
,_ WARNING:The double insulated system isintended
to protect the user from shock resulting from a break
in the tool's internal insulation. Observe all normal
safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace -
ment parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1, page L
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex -
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
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.

NOTE: AWG - American Wire Gauge
,_ WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury.
_, WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use the
product with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting
in serious injury.
