Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on
the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this electric garden vacuum.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be
used for this measure of safety.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on the unit's rating
label. Using the improper voltage can damage the motor and injure the
user.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. For lengths less than 50 ft (15 m), a No.14 AWG (or
greater) extension cord should be used. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

• Do not allow any part of the electric blower vac to make contact with
water while it is in operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned
o, wipe dry before starting.
