The operation of any utility vac or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3) before starting operation. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break. WEARYOUR To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area. For dusty operations, wear dust mask. Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. When using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition. Using any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord. Extension Cord Length O-5O Ft. 50-100 Ft.
