OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Use an appropriate extension cord to connect to power. See Electrical Safety Warnings for recommended cords.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The outdoor extension cord used with the unit must also be polarized. The plug on the extension cord will fit into the unit only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit fully into the unit, reverse the plug. If it does not fit, use a cord with a correct connection. If the cord does not fit into the power supply outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug on the extension cord or unit in any way.

2.Secure the extension cord to motor housing as shown (Fig. 14).

STARTING AND STOPPING THE

BLOWER/VAC

This unit is equipped with an OFF/LOW/HIGH switch (Fig. 15). For low speed operation, slide the switch up to the first click (A).

To select high speed, slide the switch up to the second click (B). To turn the unit off, slide the switch all the way down (C).

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.

OPERATING AS A BLOWER

Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 16, 17, or 18 and sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.

Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speed than high. Of course, you may choose to use either and you’ll probably find the high speed better for moving heavier items like large debris or gravel.

1.Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-clean areas (Fig. 16).

2.Use the blower around buildings and for other normal cleaning (Fig. 17).
