When using 

an electric tool, basic safety precautions 

should always be followed to reduce risk of 

fire, electric shock, and personal injury, 

including the following.

Some dust 

created by this product contains chemicals 

known to the State of California to cause 

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 

harm.  Some examples of these chemicals are:

 • compounds in fertilizers

 • compounds in insecticides, herbicides

   and pesticides

 • arsenic and chromium from chemically

   treated lumber

To reduce your exposure to these 

chemicals, wear approved safety equipment 

such as dust masks that are specially 

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains 

relates to protecting yOur safeTy and PreveNTiNg PrOBleMs. The symbols 

below are used to help you recognize this information. 

 Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not 

avoided,will result in death or serious injury.

WarNiNg: 

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not 

avoided,could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially haz ard ous situation which, if not 

avoided, may result in minor or mod er ate injury.

NOTice: 

Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous 

situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

•  iNsPecT The area before using the 

unit. Remove all debris and hard objects 

such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can 

ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause 

injury or damage during operation. 

 

To reduce the 

risk of electrical shock; do not expose to rain, 

do not use on wet surfaces. Store indoors.

 

Cut Hazard. 

Turn off and unplug unit, then wait until fan 

stops or at least 10 seconds before removing 

the blower or vacuum tube assemblies.

Your  Blower/Vac is double-insulated to 

give you added safety. In a double insulated 

appliance, two systems of insulation are 

provided instead of grounding. No grounding 

means is provided on a double insulated 

appliance, nor should a means for grounding 

be added to the appliance. Servicing a double 

insulated appliance requires extreme care 

and knowledge of the system and should 

be done only by qualified service personnel. 

Replacement parts for a double insulated 

appliance must be identical to the parts they 

replace. A double insulated appliance is marked 

with the words double insulated or “double 

insulation”. The symbol (square within a square) 

may also be marked on the appliance.

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords 

and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire 

extension cords. Only round jacketed 

extension cords should be used, and 

we recommend that they be listed by 

Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. 

in Canada). If the extension will be used 

outside, the cord must be suitable for 

outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor 

can also be used for indoor work.

An extension cord must have adequate 

wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) 

for safety, and to prevent loss of power and 

overheating. The smaller the gauge number 

of the wire, the greater the capacity of the 

cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity 

than 18 gauge. When using more than one 

extension to make up the total length, be 

sure each individual extension contains at 

least the minimum wire size. Before using 

an extension cord, inspect it for loose or 

exposed wires, damaged insulation, and 

defective fittings. Make any needed repairs 

or replace the cord if necessary.

  To determine the minimum wire size 

required, refer to the chart:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this 

equipment has a polarized plug (one blade 

is wider than the other). This equipment 

must be used with a suitable polarized 2 

wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized 

connections will fit together only one way. 

Make sure that the receptacle end of the 

extension cord has large and small blade 

slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into 

the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it 

still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension 

cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully 

into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician 

to install the proper outlet. Do not change 

the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
