1.When using the power blower, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. See Table 1.
2.The extension cord must be specifically designed for outdoor use and marked
3.Inspect extension power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. If damaged, replace before using power blower.
4.To reduce the risk of electric shock, this power blower has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the exten- sion cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, do not use that extension cord. Do not change the plug in any way.
5.Secure the extension cord (A) to the power supply cord (B) as shown in Figure

4-2. OPERATING TIPS
1.Always work moving away from solid objects such as walls, large stones, automobiles and fences.
2.Clean spaces with corners by starting in corners and moving outward to straight areas to prevent an accu- mulation of debris which could fly into face.
3.Be careful when working near valuable plants. The force of air could damage tender plants.
4.Uses for your blower:
•Sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, patios, parks, parking lots, barns, etc.
•Gathering grass clippings, straw or leaves into piles.
•Removing debris from corners, around joints and between bricks.

The sym- bol (square within a square) may also be marked on the power blower.
1.Place switch in “OFF” position and unplug the power supply before the power blower is serviced, cleaned or maintenance is performed.
2.Keep air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.
3.Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not squirt with a water hose or douse with water or other liquids.
4.If the blower vibrates abnormally, stop motor immedi- ately. Abnormal vibration usually indicates a mechan- ical problem and continued operation could lead to injury or damage to the blower.
5.No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
6.If the blower does not operate, turn switch to “OFF” position and disconnect extension from power supply first, then from blower. Check power supply for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If the blower still does not operate, contact the McCulloch Product Service Department through the
