SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50' (15 m)
or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.
• Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure the
blower tubes are installed.
• When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place—out of
the reach of children.
• Maintain tool with care. Keep fan area clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for proper maintenance.
• Do not attempt to clear clogs from tool without first unplugging it.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, or pull cord around sharp edges
or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain, do not use on wet surfaces.
Store indoors
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer
or by an authorized service centre to avoid risk.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently, and use them to instruct others
who may use this power tool. If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these
instructions also.
