IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
For houshould use only.
Install only on a nominal 120 V supply protected by a maximum 20 A overcurrent protective
device.
Do not use near bystanders.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, or dropped into water, bring it to a service center.
Use extra care when using on stairs.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline,
or use in areas where they may be present.
EXTENSION CORDS: Make sure the extension cord is in good condition and that is heavy
enough to carry the current your unit will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power as well as overheating. The table shown
above illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate
amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size wire gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. To prevent the cord from disconnecting from the unit, use
the cord hook shown in the Operating Instructions.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or
outlet(s) that will be used for the unit. Receptacles with built-in GFCI protection should be
used as an added safety measure.
A nameplate on Blower/Vac indicates the voltage used. Never connect the unit to an AC
voltage that differs from this voltage.
Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection periodically. Look closely for
deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage.
Repair or replace the cords if any defects appear.
Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate the Blower/Vac in damp or wet conditions.
Moisture is a shock hazard.
Do not use the unit in the rain.
Do not handle the plug or the unit with wet hands.
