expose to rain. Store indoors.
19) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
All-in-one Blower/Vac/Mulcher
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
20) Extension cord - Make sure your extension
cord set is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. For lengths less than 25
feet, No. __16_AWG extension cord should
be used. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. (NOTE: Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the heavier
the cord.) To reduce the likelihood of
disconnection of cord from the extension
cord during operating:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
II) Use extension cord holder found on the
power cord of this tool.
