Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,

WARNING!
A damaged extension cord can cause electric
shock or a fire. Please inspect the extension cord periodically.
The tool must not be used if the cord is damaged in any way.
Replace a damaged extension cord before use.
1. Use a heavy duty extension cord, suitable for outdoor use
and so marked. An ordinary duty extension cord will cause
loss of power and may overheat.
2. Keep the extension cord behind you, away from the area of
operation.
3. Secure the extension cord to the motor housing using the
cord retainer located at the rear of the blower. Securing the
extension cord in this manner prevents accidental removal
of the electrical cord during operation (Fig. 5).
4. Plug the female end of the electrical cord into the
receptacle at the back of the unit.
