In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by qualified
service 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.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
appliance to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.)
be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the appliance. A
power source with voltage greater than that
specified for the appliance can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the
appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to blower safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal
injury.
1. Always use protective goggles, a cap and
mask when using the blower. Ordinary eye or

chips and the like.
4. Do not collect still smoldering cigarette ashes,
freshly cut metals shavings, screws, nails and
the like.
5. Never block suction inlet and/or blower outlet.
Increased motor revolution may cause
dangerous fan breakage.
6. The blower is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without
supervision.
7. Young children should be supervised to
