izers, or any other substances which may

contain toxic materials.

VACUUM SAFETY

um tubes. The motor must be stopped

and the impeller blades no longer turning

collection bag or the housing and become

dangerous missiles which can cause seri-

ous injury to the operator or others.

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.

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.

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.

strap when vacuuming to avoid loss of

control.

Check air intake openings, elbow tube,

and vacuum tubes frequently, always with

the unit stopped and the power source

disconnected. Keep vents and tubes free

of debris which can accumulate and re-

strict proper air flow. Do not use with any

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this

unit has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other) and will require the

use of a polarized extension cord. The

appliance plug will fit into a polarized ex-

tension cord only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully into the extension cord,

reverse the plug. If the plug still does not

fit, obtain a correct polarized extension

cord. A polarized extension cord will re-

quire the use of a polarized wall outlet.

This plug will fit into the polarized wall out-

let only one way. If plug does not fit fully

into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-

cian to install the proper wall outlet. Do not

change the equipment plug, extension

cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in

any way.
