Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.Inspect extension cords periodi- cally and replace if damaged. When using an extension cord,be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your blower/vac will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this blower/vac has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The blower/vac’s plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only 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 correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only 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 blower/vac plug, extension cord receptacle, or exten- sion cord plug in any way.

Inspect cord often. Replace if damaged.
