OPERATOR SAFETY
S
Always wear safety glasses or similar eye protection when operating, servic­ing, or performing maintenance on your unit. Wearingeyeprotection can help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting into eyes and face which can result in blindness or serious injury.
S
Always wear a respirator or face mask whenworkingwiththeunitindustyenvi­ronments.
S
Dress safely in long pants. Do not go barefootor wear shortpants or sandals.
S
Do not operate the unit when you are tired, ill, upset, or if you are underthein­fluence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
S
Secure hair so it is above shoulder length. Keep loose hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all other parts of the body away from openings and moving parts. Hair, jewelry, loose clothing, or clothing with loosely hanging straps, ties, tas­sels, etc., can be caught in moving parts .

Avoiddangerous environments. Do not use in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up.
S
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, useextension cords specificallymarked as suitable foroutdoor appliances. The electrical rating of the cord must not be less than the rating of the unit. The cord must be marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Canada, “W”). Make sure your exten­sion cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage re­sulting in lossofpower and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. ( pending on the cord length is shown in this manual. See

Inspect the insulation and connectors on the unit and extension cord before eachuse. Ifthere is anydamage,donot useuntil damage isrepairedby yourau­thorized service dealer. Do not pull or carryby cord; donot use cord as a han­dle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cordawayfromheatedsurfaces. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Keep others including children,animals, bystanders, and helpers a minimum of 30 feet (10 meters) away. Stop the mo­tor immediately if you are approached. Do not allow the unittobe used asatoy.
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insula­tion instead of grounding. Tools and appliances built with a double insulation system are not in­tended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be add­ed to this unit. As a result, the exten­sion cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance mustbeidentical to thepartstheyreplace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words “double insulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol (square within a square) may also be mark edon the appliance.Failure to have theunit repaired bySears serviceperson­nel can cause the double insulation con­struction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.

OP-
When using the vacuum attachment, theunit is designed to pick up dry mate­rial such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper. Do not vacuum stones,gravel,metal,broken glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to the impeller. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not attempt to vacuum water or other liquids.
S
Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. When used as a vacuum, always install vacuum tubes andcollection bagassembly.Make sure the collection bag assembly is com­pletely zipped when unit is running to avoid flying debris. Use only recom­mended attachments.
S
Avoidsituations which could set the col­lection bag on fire. Do not vacuum dis­carded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. T oavoid spreading fire, do not use blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ash­trays, etc.
S
Always use the collection bag shoulder strap when vacuuming to avoid loss of control.
S
Check air intake openings, elbow tube, and vacuum tubes frequently, always with the unit stopped and the power source disconnected. Keep vents and tubes free of debris which can accumu­late and restrict proper air flow . Do not use with any opening blocked, Keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance 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 plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
