15. | Before each use, thoroughly inspect |
| your unit for loose or damaged parts. |
| Do NOT use until adjustments or |
| repairs have been made. |
16. | All attachments must be installed |
| properly before operating the unit, |
| such as debris collector bag. |
17. | Keep all bystanders especially pets |
| and children at least fifty (50) feet |
| from the unit while using. |
18. | To avoid unintentionally starting of |
| the unit, do NOT carry plugged-in |
| unit with your finger on the switch. |

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 |
does not fit, contact a qualified |
electrician to install the proper wall |
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 |
Emptying the Vacuum Bag WARNING: 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.
