DOUBLE INSULATION  
CONSTRUCTION  
This unit is double insulated to help pro-  
tect against electric shock. Double insula-  
tion construction consists of two separate  
“layers” of electrical insulation instead of  
grounding. Tools and appliances built with  
a double insulation system are not in-  
tended to be grounded. No grounding  
means is provided on this unit, nor should  
a means of grounding be added to this  
unit. As a result, the extension cord used  
with your unit can be plugged into any  
standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety  
precautions must be observed when op-  
erating any electrical tool. The double in-  
sulation system only provides added pro-  
tection against injury resulting from an  
internal electrical insulation failure.  
STo reduce the risk of electrical shock, use  
extension cords specifically marked as  
suitable for outdoor appliances. The elec-  
trical rating of the cord must not be less  
than the rating of the unit. The cord must  
be marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Cana-  
da, “W”). Make sure your extension cord  
is in good condition. Inspect extension  
cord before use and replace if damaged.  
An undersized extension cord will cause  
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. If in doubt, use  
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the  
gauge number, the heavier the cord.  
(NOTE: The correct size to be used de-  
pending on the cord length is shown in  
this manual. See SELECT AN EXTENSION  
CORD in the ASSEMBLY section).  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator  
and obstacles at all times.  
S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to  
recessed plug as shown in this manual to  
prevent damage to unit and/or extension  
cord and to reduce the possibility of the  
extension cord disconnecting from the  
unit during operation.  
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the  
insulation and connectors on the unit  
and extension cord before each use. If  
there is any damage, do not use until  
damage is repaired by your authorized  
service dealer.  
S Do not use the unit if the switch does not  
turn the unit on and off properly. Have the  
unit repaired by your authorized service  
dealer.  
S Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the  
switch is in the OFF position and keep  
your hand and fingers away from the  
switch while connecting the unit to the  
power source or when carrying a unit con-  
nected to the power source.  
S Avoid any body contact with any  
grounded conductor, such as metal  
fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of  
electric shock.  
WARNING:  
All electrical repairs to this unit, including  
housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diag-  
nosed and repaired by qualified service  
personnel. Replacement parts for  
a
double insulated appliance must be iden-  
tical to the parts they replace. A double in-  
sulated appliance is marked with the  
words “double insulation” or “double insu-  
lated”. The symbol  
(square within a  
square) may also be marked on the ap-  
pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired  
by an authorized service dealer can  
cause the double insulation construction  
to become ineffective and result in serious  
injury.  
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY  
S Do not set the unit on any surface ex-  
cept a clean, hard area while the unit is  
running. Debris such as gravel, sand,  
dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by  
the air intake and thrown out through the  
discharge opening, damaging the unit,  
property, or causing serious injury to by-  
standers or operator.  
S Do not overreach or use from unstable  
surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep  
slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care  
when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm  
footing and balance at all times. Keep  
hands out of tubes.  
S Inspect the entire unit before each use  
for worn, loose, missing, or damaged  
parts. Do not use until the unit is in  
proper working order.  
S This unit is double insulated. See the  
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION  
section. Have all internal service per-  
formed by qualified service repair per-  
sonnel to avoid creating a hazard or  
voiding your warranty.  
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
protection should be provided on the cir-  
cuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Re-  
ceptacles are available having built-in  
GFCI protection and may be used for this  
measure of safety.  
S Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-  
proached.

S Have all maintenance other than the VACUUM SAFETY  
recommended procedures described in  
the instruction manual performed by  
your authorized service dealer.  
S Stop the motor and disconnect the pow-  
er source before opening the air inlet  
door or attempting to insert or remove  
the vacuum tubes. The motor must be  
stopped and the impeller blades no  
longer turning to avoid serious injury  
from the rotating blades.  
S Always see your authorized service  
dealer to replace a damaged impeller.  
Parts that are chipped, cracked, broken,  
or damaged in any other way can fly  
apart and cause serious injury. Replace  
damaged parts before using the unit.  
S Never place any object in the air intake  
opening as this could restrict proper air  
flow and cause damage to the unit.  
S Never douse the unit with water or other  
liquids or squirt with a water hose. Clean  
the unit using a damp cloth. Wipe off  
with a clean dry cloth. See MAINTE-  
NANCE.  
S Hard objects can be thrown through the  
collection bag or the housing and be-  
come dangerous missiles which can  
cause serious injury to the operator or  
others.  
S When using the vacuum attachment, the  
unit is designed to pick up dry material  
such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and  
bits of paper. Do not vacuum stones,  
gravel, metal, broken glass, etc., to avoid  
severe damage to the impeller. To avoid  
the possibility of electrical shock, do not  
attempt to vacuum water or other liquids.  
S Never run the unit without the proper  
equipment attached. When used as a  
vacuum, always install vacuum tubes and  
collection bag assembly. Make sure the  
collection bag assembly is completely  
zipped when unit is running to avoid flying  
debris. Use only recommended attach-  
ments.  
S Avoid situations which could set the col-  
lection bag on fire. Do not vacuum dis-  
carded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or  
ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush  
piles, etc. To avoid spreading fire, do not  
use blower near leaf or brush fires, fire-  
places, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.  
S Always use the collection bag shoulder  
strap when vacuuming to avoid loss of  
control.
