Operation
Important: This blower is intended for outdoor, residential use
only. Do not use it indoors or for commercial or industrial
purposes.
Connecting to a Power Source
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (i.e., one blade is wider than the other). Use only a polarized,
UL listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension cord recommended
for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a polarized cord only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord. If it
still does not fit, purchase a polarized extension cord. If you have a
polarized extension cord and the extension cord plug does not fit fully
into the wall receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
appliance or extension cord plug in any way.
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
If you do not fully seat the extension cord on the inlet plug,
or if the plug and cord do not fit firmly, the loose plug could
lead to overheating and cause a fire, possibly burning you
or others.
•
Ensure that you fully seat the cord on the plug.
•
Check the connection regularly to ensure that the cord is
firmly attached.
•
Do not use a worn-out or loose extension cord.

Note: Do not use an extension cord over 150 feet.
Important: Check the extension cord frequently during use for
holes in the insulation. Do not use a damaged cord. Do not run
the cord through standing water or wet grass.
Secure the extension cord to the blower cord using an overhand knot,
as shown.
