GENERAL SAFETY RULES

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal
injury.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE BLOWER
• Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases - or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will only fit into a polarized extension
cord one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, obtain a polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit into the polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
• Avoid bodily contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A,
or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without
proper instruction.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses only have impact-resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if
operation is dusty.
• Wear eye protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product. Wear
hearing protection.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
• Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewellery that could get caught
in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer when it is used at the rate that it was designed to work at.
• Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight
footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery
surfaces.
• Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in any moving parts.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
