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).

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.
