PLEASE READ - SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

When using a power blower basic precautions should
always be followed to assure maximum safety and opti­mum performance. Read this manual before assembling
and operating this power blower. Failure to comply with
instructions may result in electrical shock, burns, fire, or
personal injury.

WARNING

2-1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK:

1. Use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor
use. Match wire gauge to the cord length. See
“Extension Cord” chart (Table 1 - page 11). A two-wire
cord without a ground connection may be used since
the power blower is double insulated.

2. Do not abuse cord. Never carry power blower by cord
or pull cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp the plug,
not the cord.

3. Keep cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times.
Do not expose cord to heated surfaces, oil, water, or
pull around sharp edges, corners, or close door on
cord.

4. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in
the “OFF” position while connecting and disconnect­ing to a power supply. Do not carry plugged-in power
blower with finger on the switch.

5. Place switch in the “OFF” position and disconnect
power blower from power supply when not in use and
before servicing.

WARNING

2-2. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSON­AL INJURY:

1. Do not allow unit to be used as a toy or to run unat
tended at any time. Keep children away.

2. Do not use accessories or attachments except as rec­ommended and provided by McCulloch Corporation.
Use this power blower only for its intended use as
described in this manual.

3. Never power blower if the cord or plug has been dam
aged, the motor or the unit itself is not working as it
should, or it has been dropped, damaged, left out
doors or dropped into water.

4. This power blower is provided with double insulations.
There are no serviceable parts inside.

5. Never operate the power blower in wet or damp con­ditions or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do
not use to blow snow.

6. Do not handle plug, cord or power blower with wet
hands.

7. Inspect power blower for any damage to the housing,
cord or plug. Keep all fasteners tight.

Do not use if the switch does not turn the power blow-

8.
er on and off properly.

9. Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation. Never allow children to
operate the power blower. Turn off unit immediately if
you are approached.

10. Always inspect the area before starting the power
blower to remove debris and hard or sharp objects
that can be blown or cause damage during operation.

11. Do not overreach or use from unstable surfaces such
as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep
firm hold of handle and walk, never run. Keep firm
footing and balance at all times.

12. Never blow debris in the direction of bystanders or
solid objects. The force of the air can cause objects to
be blown or ricochet which can harm people. Never
place objects inside blower tubes.

13. Never operate with any air openings blocked. Keep air
openings free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may
reduce air flow. Do not plug anything into openings or
blower tubes.

14. Never use the power blower for spreading chemicals,
fertilizer, or any other substances that may contain
toxic materials. Do not use power blower as a sprayer
of flammable liquids.

15. Keep hair, face, fingers and loose clothing away from
any openings.

16. Use extra care when using on stairs.

17. Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases, smoking or burning materials to avoid creating
a fire or explosion.

loss of power and overheating. See Table 1.

2. The extension cord must be specifically designed for
outdoor use and marked “SW-A”, “SOW-A”, “STW-A”,
“STOW-A”, “SJW-A”, “SJOW-A”, “SJTOW-A”, “SJTW­A”, or “SJTW”.

use that extension cord. Do not change the plug in
any way.
