and/or serious personal injury.
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 polar-
ized 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.
 Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never
allow adults to operate the equipment without proper
instruction.
 Wear eye protection with side shields which is marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as hearing protection
when operating this product.
 Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
 Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use and before servicing.
 Do not expose to rain, store indoors.
 Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufac-
turer's recommended attachments.
 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away
from openings and moving parts.
 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 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.
 Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get caught in
moving parts of the machine or its motor.
 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
 Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
 Do not use on steps, a ladder, roof top, tree, or other un-
stable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables
better control of the blower in unexpected situations.
 Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in any moving parts.
 Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
 Turn off all controls before unplugging.
 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is nec-
essary when used by or near children.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch is not
on before plugging in. Turn switch off before unplugging.
 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
 Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working as
it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, return it to an authorized service
center.
 Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from
the power outlet when not in use, before servicing, and
before storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
 Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
 Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, upset or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
 Do not operate in poor lighting.
 Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
 Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair,
and anything that may reduce air flow.
 Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
