, WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
AWARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive
environments (such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust), or use to
pick up flammable or combustible liquids,
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 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.
[] Wear eye protection with side shields which
is 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.
[] 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.

of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding
of the information on the tool and in this operator's
manual as well as a knowledge of the project you
are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize
yourself with all operating features and safety rules,
BLOWER TUBE

7 i English
DOUBLE
iNSULATiON
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
threewire grounded power cord, Att exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components
with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not
need to be grounded.
_iL WARNING! The double insulated system is
intended 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. Take the unit to a qualified service dealer
for inspection and possible repair using only identical
replacement parts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTmON
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 toss of power
and the motor will overheat. If your product does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply,
GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the product.Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCl protection and may be used for this
measure of safety,
GUIDELmNES FOR USING EXTENSmON CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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. An undersized
cord will cause overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(when using 120V only)
Ampere Rating Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
More Than Not More Than 25' (7.6 m) 50' (15.2 m) 100' (30.4 m) 150' (45.7 m)
O 6 18 16 16 14
6 10 18 16 14 12
10 12 16 16 14 12
12 16 14 12 Not recommended
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition,Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before use.
Keep extension cords away from sharp
objects,excessive heat and damp or wet areas,
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools, This
circuit should comprise a wire of at least 12 gauge and
should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse,
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric
current is identical to that stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
_, WARNING! ALTHOUGH THIS TOOL IS
DOUBLE INSULATED, THE EXTENSION CORD AND
RECEPTACLE MUST STILL BE GROUNDED WHILE
IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
_1!_WARNING! Check extension cords before
each use. If damaged replace immediately,
Never use product with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury,
