Operation Important: This blower is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do not use it indoors or for commercial or industrial purposes. Connecting to a Power Source To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e., one blade is wider than the other). Use only a polarized, UL listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension cord recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a polarized cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord. If it still does not fit, purchase a polarized extension cord. If you have a polarized extension cord and the extension cord plug does not fit fully into the wall receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the appliance or extension cord plug in any way. Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use. Figure 7 2. Install the blower tube and then the inlet cover onto the blower housing. Important: The blower will not run unless the bottom inlet cover is locked in place. If you do not fully seat the extension cord on the inlet plug, or if the plug and cord do not fit firmly, the loose plug could lead to overheating and cause a fire, possibly burning you or others. • Ensure that you fully seat the cord on the plug. • Check the connection regularly to ensure that the cord is firmly attached. • Do not use a worn-out or loose extension cord. Extension Cord Length 100 ft 150 ft Minimum Wire Gage (A.W.G.) 14 12 Note: Do not use an extension cord over 150 feet. Important: Check the extension cord frequently during use for holes in the insulation. Do not use a damaged cord. Do not run the cord through standing water or wet grass. Secure the extension cord to the blower cord using an overhand knot, as shown. 5
