• Keep children out of the working
area and under the watchful care
of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under
the age of 14 to operate this

WARNING!
(PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities
contains chemicals known 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 of exposure to these
chemicals varies depending on
how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or
outlet(s) to be used for the blower.
Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may
be used for this measure of safety.
• 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.
WARNING!
Electric shock may cause SEVERE
INJURY or DEATH. Heed these
warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric
blower to make contact with
water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while
turned off, wipe dry before starting.
• Do not use an extension cord over
100 ft. (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or
its plug with wet hands or while
standing in water. Wearing rubber
boots offers some protection.

connection between the appliance’s
plug and extension cord, rmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the
extension cord. Periodically check
the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached. Do not use
an extension cord that provides a
loose connection. A loose connection
may result in overheating, re, and
increases the risk of a burning.
Maintain Appliance With Care –
Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
• To prevent the appliance cord from
disconnecting from the extension
cord during operation, make a knot
with the two cords as shown in
Table 1.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never pull
the blower by the cord or yank
the cord to disconnect it from the

• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized
plug (i.e. one blade is wider than
the other). Use this appliance only
with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL
rated extension cord for outdoor,
all-weather use. The appliance plug
will t into a polarized extension
cord only one way.
If the appliance 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. The
extension cord plug will t into the
polarized wall outlet only 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 modify the appliance
plug, extension cord receptacle or
extension cord plug in any way.
Warning – To reduce the risk of
personal injury due to a loose electrical

receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
PREPARATION
Before beginning assembly of
product, make sure all parts are
present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents
list. If any part is missing or damaged,
do not attempt to assemble the
product.
Estimated Assembly Time: 5 minutes
This appliance is provided with
double insulation. Use only identical
replacement parts. See instructions
for Servicing of Double-Insulated
Appliances.
In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on
a double-insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the
system, and should be done only by
qualied service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-
insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace.

reproductor. Algunos ejemplos de
estos productos químicos son:
• Plomo de pinturas a base de
plomo
• Sílice cristalina de ladrillos y
cemento y otros productos de
albañilería, y
• Arsénico y cromo de madera
tratada químicamente.
El riesgo de exposición a estos
productos químicos varía en
función de la frecuencia con la
que se realice este tipo de trabajo.
Para reducir su exposición a estos
productos químicos, trabaje en un
área bien ventilada con equipos
