• To reduce the risk of electric shock, the batttery charger has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug
will only t into a polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only t into
the polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

WARNING
• To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this
unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
• To prevent serious personal injury or damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube is in place
before operating the unit.
OPERATING TIPS
• To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly
into the center of a pile.
• To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
• After using blowers or other equipment, clean up. Dispose of debris properly.
AIR VENTS
Never cover air vents. Keep them free of obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear
for proper motor cooling.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
Hold the blower rmly. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground
or oor. Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry
blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather than high speeds. High speed blowing is
a better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
WARNING
• To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear loose-clothing or articles such as scarves, strings,
chains, ties, etc., that could be drawn into the air vents. Tie back long hair to make sure it does
not get drawn into the air vents.
• To avoid serious personal injury, ensure the unit is in OFF position and unplugged before
clearing the impeller.
• To avoid serious personal injury, always wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades
or other sharp objects.
