WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

● Lead from lead-based paints;

● Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry products and

● Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemical: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

and represent a serious danger to the user.
The device must not be employed in areas
where there is health endangering debris or as
a wet suction device.
The device is designed for use by adults.
Young people over 16 years may use the
device under supervision only.
The use of the device in the rain or in a humid
environment is forbidden.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage
which is caused through inappropriate use or

incorrect operation.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:

1) Do not leave appliance when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.

2) To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock – Do
not use on wet surfaces. Do not expose to
rain. Store indoors

3) Do not allow to be a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.

4) Use only as described in this manual.
Use only manufacture’s recommended
attachments.

5) Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
appliance is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a service
center.

6) Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or comers. Do not run
appliance over cord. Keep cord away form
heated surfaces.

7) Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

8) Do not handle plug or appliance with wet
hands.

9) Do not put any object into openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that
may reduce air flow.

10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all
parts of body away form openings and
moving parts.

11) Turn off all controls before unplugging.

12) Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

13) Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.

14) Always turn off this appliance before
connecting or disconnecting either hose or
motorized nozzle.

All-in-one Blower/Vac/Mulcher EN

insulation. Use only identical replacement
parts. See instructions for Servicing of
Double-Insulated Appliances.

18) WARNING – To reduce the risk of

electric shock – Do not use on wet
surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.

19) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

20) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord set is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. For lengths less than 25
feet, No. __16_AWG extension cord should
be used. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. (NOTE: Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number the
heavier the cord.) To reduce the likelihood
of disconnection of lawn mower cord from
the cord set during operating:

I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining

straps or connectors described in this
manual.
