• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• Never leave blower running unattended. Turn
power off.
• Unplug before connecting the tube.
• Store idle units. When not in use, the unit should be stored
in a dry, high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.
• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
• Do not use if appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to a service center.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or SJTW.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
ʵ Make a knot as shown below; or
ʵ Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
OR
ʵ Secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as shown
or described in Operations.
• Maintain appliance with care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.
WARNING:
personal injury due to a loose electrical connection between
the appliance's plug and extension cord, firmly and fully
attach the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically
check the connection while operating to ensure it is fully
attached. Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose
connection. A loose connection may result in overheating, fire,
and increases the risk of a burning.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING:
or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING:
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:

Some dust contains
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers,
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved
safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING:
generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING:
personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION:
on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools will stand upright
but may be easily knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
