Precautions can result in serious injury.
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 exten­
sion cord. The appliance plug will fit
into a polarized extension 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, ob­
tain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polar­
ized wall outlet 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 electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, exten­
sion cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.

SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD
Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as
shown on nameplate of the unit to
power your blower.
The extension cord used to reach the
power source must be:
• Specifically marked as suitable for out­
door use. The cord must be marked
with the suffix “W”.
• Heavy enough to carry full current
from the power source to the unit.
Otherwise, loss of power and over­
heating can occur causing damage
to unit. Refer to table for minimum
wire gauge recommendations. The
cord must be marked with the proper
wire gauge. (Appropriate extension
cords are available.) Do not use mul­
tiple cords.
In good condition. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or
deterioration. Plug connectors must be
undamaged. DO NOT use multiple
