IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended pur-
pose only. Use other than that which is described in
this manual could result in injury or property damage.
Wear eye protection and a dust
mask when operating the unit. Piston
and debris will exit the conduit at
high speed.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in serious injury from flying
debris.
Electric shock hazard:
•Do not leave unit unattended when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use.
•Do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.
•Do not handle plug or blower with
wet hands.
•Do not use with a damaged cord
or plug. If the blower is not working
as it should, if it has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped
into water, send it to an authorized
Greenlee service center.
•Do not pull or carry by cord, use
the cord as a handle, close a door
on the cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
•Do not unplug by pulling on cord.

Grounding Instructions
Electric shock hazard:
•Do not modify the plug provided
with the tool.
•Connect this tool to a grounded
receptacle on a 15–amp GFCI
protected circuit.
Failure to observe these warnings
could result in severe injury or death.
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a malfunc-
tion or breakdown, an electrical ground provides a path
of least resistance for the electric current. This path of
least resistance is intended to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
This tool’s electric cord has a grounding conductor and
a grounding plug as shown. Do not modify the plug.
Connect the plug to a corresponding GFCI protected
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all national and local codes and
ordinances.
Do not use an adapter.

and screw the nose cone onto the canister
handle section.
Blowing Line
1. Load the fish line into the canister. Refer to “Loading
