All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified ser- vice 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 insulation" or

"double insulated". The symbol [] (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by Sears service

personnel can cause the double insula- tion construction to become ineffective

and result in serious injury.

UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY

• Do not set the unit on any surface ex-

•Check air intake openings and tubes frequently, always with the unit stopped and power source discon-

nected. Keep vents and tubes free of debris which can accumulate and re-

strict proper air flow.

•Do not burn, incinerate, or expose this unit to extreme heat.

•Store the unit unplugged in a high,

cool, dry, indoor area out of the reach of children.

•Use only recommended attachments and replacement parts to avoid creat- ing a hazard and/or voiding warranty.

•Maintain the unit according to recom- mended procedures.

BLOWER SAFETY

cept a clean, hard area while the unit is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through the discharge opening, damaging the unit, property, or caus-

ing serious injury to bystanders or op- erator.

•Do not overreach or use from unstable

surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm footing and balance at all times. Keep hands out of tubes.

•Inspect the entire unit before each use for worn, loose, missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until the unit is in proper working order.

•This unit is double insulated. See the

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION section. Have all internal service per- formed by qualified service repair per- sonnel to avoid creating a hazard or voiding your warranty.

•Use only in daylight or in good artificial light.

•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 opera- tion.

•Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. When used as a blower, always install a blower tube. Use only recommended attachments.

•To avoid spreading fire, do not use blower near leaf or brush fires, fire-

places, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

•Never place objects inside the blower tubes; always direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automo- biles, walls, etc. The force of air can

cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt

people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.
