EXTENSION CORD

MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE RECOMMENDATIONS

5.Use an appropriate extension cord to connect to power. See extension cords.(page 8)

To reduce the risk WARNING: of electric shock,

this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The outdoor exten- sion 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.

OPERATING AS A BLOWER

Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 15 and sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the accumulat- ed 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 .

2.Use the blower around buildings and for other nor- mal cleaning.

3.Use the blower for walls, overhangs and screens. (Fig. 15)
