SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
READ BEFORE USING!
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed, includ-
ing the following:
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result
in damage to the machine, damage to property, or bodily
injury.
• Do not use machine while placed in standing water.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
water or rain.
• Use machine only as described in this manual. Do
not use in ways it was not intended.
• Turn off all switches and unplug the electrical cord
when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not allow to be used by untrained personnel.
Close attention is necessary when used near children.
• Use only on GFCI protected receptacles.
• If the machine is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, or left outdoors, return it to a
service center before using.
• Avoid electrical shock; do not handle the plug or
machine wet hands. To unplug the cord, grasp the
plug. Do not pull on the cord.
• Do not use an extension cord with this fan. Do not
use on outlets with a damaged cord or plug. Connect
the machine only to a properly grounded outlet (refer
to GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS). Avoid damaging
cord (closing doors on cord, pulling around sharp
edges or corners, hot surfaces, or running machine
over cord).
• This machine creates suction and contains a revolving
fan. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all other
parts of the body away from openings and moving
parts. Do not insert an object into any of the openings
in the machine.
• Do not use in areas where flammable and/or explosive
vapor or dust is present to avoid the possibility or fire
or explosion. Some cleaning fluids can produce such
vapors.
• Do not allow air inlet openings on either side of the
machine to be obstructed; this could cause the motor
to overheat.
• Do not allow debris near front air exhaust opening
which could be thrown by the air stream.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR MACHINE:
Check the rating plate to see if the voltage agrees
within 10% of the voltage available.
This machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord
having a equipment grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate GFCI
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of an equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician (Figure 1).
USE ONLY ON GFCI PROTECTED RECEPTACLES.
UNPACKING AND SETUP
Carefully inspect all components to insure that there is
no concealed freight damage. If such damage is
discovered, file a Damage Report immediately with the
delivering carrier.
OPERATION
Place and position machine. To direct airstream as
desired, this unit can be positioned flat on floor, at a 45
degree angle upward, or 90 degrees upward. Plug power
cord into a properly grounded outlet and turn power switch
to selected speed.
CLEAN UP AND STORAGE
For compact storage, this machine can be stacked with
another. Wind the extension cord in a circle on the blower
carrying handle. Be sure not to wind the cord tighter than
necessary.
Store the machine in a cool dry place. Avoid prolonged
exposure of machine to freezing temperatures during
storage.
