IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug ( one blade is wider than the
other ) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
