SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The operation of any utility vac or blower 
can result in foreign objects being blown 
into the eyes, which can result in severe 
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles, 
not glasses, complying with ANSI 
Z87.1(or in Canada CSA Z94-3-99) 
shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses 
have only impact resistant lenses. They 
are not safety glasses. Safety Goggles 
are available at many local retail stores. 
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with 
ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you 
when they break.
To reduce the risk of hearing damage, 
wear ear protectors when using the vac 
for extended hours or when, using it in a 
noisy area.
For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
Use only extension cords that are rated 
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor 
condition or that are too small in wire size 
can pose fire and shock hazards. When 
using an extension cord, be sure it is in 
good condition. Using any extension cord 
will cause some loss of power. To keep 
the loss to a minimum, use the following 
table to choose the minimum wire size 
extension cord.
