extension cords specifically marked as
suitable for outdoor appliances. The
electrical ratingofthe cordmust behigher
than the rating oftheunit. The cord must
be marked with thesuf fix“W-A” (inCana­da, “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 loss of
power and overheating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number , the heavier the cord.
(NOTE: The correct size to be used de­pending on the cord length is shown in
this manual).
Inspect the insulation and connectors on

the unit and extension cord before each
use. If there is any damage, do not use
until damage is repaired by your autho­rized service dealer. Do not pull or carry

and the impeller blades no longer turning
to avoid serious injury fr o m th e rotating
blades.
Hard objects can be thrown through the

D

collection bag or the housing and be­come dangerous missiles which can
cause serious injury tooperator orothers.

When using the vacuum attachment, the

D

unit 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.
Never run the unit without the proper

D

equipment attached. When used as a
vacuum, always install vacuum tubes
and collection bag assembly. Make
sure the collection bag assembly is
completely zipped when unit is running
to avoid flying debris. Use only recom­mended attachments.
Avoid situations which could set the col-

D

lection bag on fire. Do not vacuum dis­carded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or
ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits,brush
piles, etc. To avoid spreading fire, do not
use blower near leaf or brush fires, fire­places, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
Always use collection bag shoulder strap
