use only with an extension cord 

intended for outdoor use such as 

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, 

SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or 

SJTOW-A.0

25. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter 

(GFCI) protection should always be 

provided on electrical circuits or 

outlets to be used for this unit.

use only with a two conductor 

extension cord intended for outdoor 

use.

27. Never connect the unit to an AC 

voltage that differs from the one on 

the unit’s rating plate.

28. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, 

this unit has a polarized plug (one 

blade is wider than the other) and will 

require the use of a polarized 

extension cord. This unit plug will fit 

into a polarized extension cord only 

one way. If the plug  does not fit, 

obtain a correct polarized extension 

cord. A polarized extension cord 

requires the use of a polarized wall 

outlet. This plug will fit into a polarized 

wall outlet only one way. If the plug

outlet. Do NOT change the unit plug, 

extension cord receptacle or 

extension cord plug in any way.

29. When using an extension cord, make 

sure that it is a cord that is heavy 

enough to carry the current that your 

unit will draw. An undersized 

extension cord will cause a drop is 

line voltage resulting in loss of power 

and overheating. The table below 

shows the correct size to use 

depending on the cord length and 

amperage rating.

To avoid serious personal 

injury, turn the leaf blower to the “Off” 

position and unplug from the power 

source before removing the vacuum bag.

NOTE: Empty the vacuum bag after each 

use to avoid deterioration and obstructing 

the air flow, which will reduce the 

performance of the leaf blower.
