IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING! Read all instructions before using
this portable blower.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use machine in standing water.
• Avoid electrical shock; do not handle the plug or
machine with wet hands. To unplug the cord, grasp
the plug. Do not pull on the cord.
• 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.
• If the machine is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, or left outdoors, call Uline
Repairs team before using.
• Do not operate portable blower if cord is damaged.
Call Uline Repairs team for repair information.
• Do not run the power cord under carpeting, throw
rugs, runners or similar coverings. Place the power
cord away from traffic areas to prevent tripping.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current-carrying capacity. Do not
use with a damaged cord or plug. Connect the
machine only to a properly grounded outlet (refer to
GROUNDING). 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 any objects into the
openings of the machine.
• Do not use in areas where flammable and/or
explosive vapor or dust is present to avoid the
possibility of 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.
• This unit is thermally protected.
• Use only on GFCI-protected receptacles.
• Use indoors only. Do not use outdoors or expose
to rain.
• Do not use an extension cord with this blower.
• Do not direct air flow at face or any part of body.
• Do not use the portable blower with any solid-state
speed control device.
SAFETY

PAGE 2 OF 4 0415 IH-4026
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate 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 proper outlet installed by a qualified
technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 2 may be
used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet, Figure 2, can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The grounding tab extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
