BLOWER OPERATION
IMPORTANT: This blower is for house- hold use only.
WARNING: Read and under- stand this owner’s manual before operating blower. Make certain you read and understand all Safety Warnings. Improper use of this blower can result in severe injury or death from fire, electric shock, or body contact with mov- ing parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as
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 will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size exten- sion cord to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next larger gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of blower from the extension cord during operation, use the cord hitch described in this manual.
Cord Length | AWG Cord Size |
25 feet | 18 AWG |
50 feet | 16 AWG |
100 feet | 14 AWG |
150 feet | 12 AWG |

ENGLISH
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this blower has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The blower 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 polar- ized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized
