2.Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-
wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-
insulated) tools.
3 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.
4 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.
5.Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed
by underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension
cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in a loss of power and overheating of tool. For this
tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a
least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension
cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an
extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft. or
longer are not recommended. Remember, a smaller
wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger
number (14-gauge wire has more capacity than
16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has more capacity
than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller
number.

the other hand on the auxiliary handle.
Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles,
ear defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
When using the unit as mulcher, make sure the bag is
properly installed and zipped closed.
Make sure the blower tube nozzle is not directed at
anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make
sure the tubes and guards are in place and secure.

To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
soundlevel(s), hearing protection is required.
Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a
mulcher.
Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to
5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate
power blowers at the lowest possible speed setting
necessary to do the job.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
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.
Blow debris into a safe, open area away from children,
pets, open windows or freshly washed cars.
Clean up after using leaf blowers and other lawn
equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
CONNECTING TO A PWER SOURCE
OPERATING TIPS
STARTING AND STOPPING

To avoid serious personal injury, always wear gloves to
protect yourself from the impeller blades or other sharp
objects.
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as
cloth, rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan
and block the motor. A thermal protection device, which
is built into the blower vac, will cut off the electricity to
the motor to prevent damage from overheating.

1. Las herramientas de doble aislamiento están
equipadas con un enchufe polarizado, una clavija
es más ancha que la otra, y requieren el uso de
un cable de extensión polarizado. El enchufe de
la herramienta se conecta a un cable de extensión
polarizado en una sola posición. Si el enchufe no
entra completamente en el cable de extensión,
invierta el enchufe. Si el enchufe sigue sin entrar,
obtenga un cable de extensión polarizado correcto.
Un cable de extensión polarizado requerirá el uso
de un tomacorriente polarizado. Este enchufe se
conecta al tomacorriente polarizado en una sola
posición. Si el enchufe no entra completamente en
el tomacorriente, invierta el enchufe. Si el enchufe
sigue sin entrar, póngase en contacto con un
equipo, ni el receptáculo del cable de extensión, ni el
enchufe del cable de extensión en modo alguno.
2. El doble aislamiento elimina la necesidad de usar un
cable de alimentación conectado a tierra de tres hilos
y de un sistema de alimentación conectado a tierra.
Aplicable sólo a herramientas de clase II (doble
aislamiento).
3. La protección del interruptor de circuito de falla a
tierra (GFCI) debe proporcionarse en los circuitos
o salidas que se utilizarán para el soplador. Hay
receptáculos disponibles con protección GFCI
integrada que pueden usarse para esta medida de
protección.
4. Para evitar descargas eléctricas, utilice únicamente
con un cable de extensión adecuado para uso al
aire libre, como SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, o SJTOW-A. Antes de
su uso, compruebe que el cable de extensión está
en buenas condiciones. Cuando utilice un cable
de extensión, asegúrese de usar uno del calibre
aparato. Para longitudes inferiores a 50 pies (15 m),
se debe utilizar un cable de extensión Nº 14 AWG (o
superior). Otros cables de extensión pueden causar
una caída de tensión, provocando una pérdida de
potencia y un sobrecalentamiento.
5. Utilice un cable de extensión adecuado. Utilice
SOLAMENTE los cables recomendados por
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Otros cables
de extensión pueden causar una caída de
tensión, provocando una pérdida de potencia y el
sobrecalentamiento de la herramienta. Para esta
herramienta se recomienda una medida AWG
(American Wire Gauge) de al menos calibre 14 para
un cable de extensión de 25 pies (7,62 m) o menos
de longitud. Utilice un calibre 12 para un cable de
extensión de 50 pies (15,24 m). No se recomiendan
cables de extensión de 100 pies (30,48 m) o más.
Recuerde, una medida de calibre de cable más
pequeña tiene mayor capacidad que una medida
mayor (un cable calibre 14 tiene más capacidad
que un cable calibre 16; un cable calibre 12 tiene
más capacidad que un cable calibre 14). En caso de
duda, utilice el número más pequeño.

Advertencia – Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones
personales debido a una conexión eléctrica
desajustada entre el enchufe y el cable de extensión
el enchufe del aparato al cable de extensión.
Compruebe periódicamente la conexión mientras
está en funcionamiento para asegurarse de que está
completamente conectada. No utilice un cable de
extensión con una conexión desajustada. Una conexión
desajustada puede provocar un sobrecalentamiento o
un incendio y aumenta el riesgo de sufrir quemaduras.
Preste atención al mantenimiento del aparato:
Inspeccione los cables de extensión periódicamente y
sustitúyalos si están dañados.
No maltrate el cable. Nunca tire del soplador por
el cable ni tire del cable para desconectarlo del
receptáculo. Mantenga el cable alejado del calor, el
