Do you have a question about the Electric Blower vacuum mulcher and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My leaf vacuum gives me shocks. Never been wet. I love it but it hurts. I bought a heavy duty cord but that didn't work.
The Portland Electric Blower Vacuum Mulcher may give electric shocks if it is used in wet conditions, handled with wet hands, or connected with improper extension cords. It must not be exposed to rain and should only be used with outdoor-rated extension cords to reduce the risk of electric shock.
