Operation

Important: This appliance is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do not use it indoors or for commercial or industrial purposes. This appliance is for household use only.

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.

Warning

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.

Double-insulated Appliances

In a double-insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by the qualified service personnel at an Authorized Service Dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square) Graphic may also be marked on the appliance.

Storage

Store the blower and extension cord indoors, in a cool dry location, out of reach of children and animals.

Troubleshooting

If your blower fails to run when you turn it on, ensure that the power cord is secured in place on the back of the blower and that the plug is fully seated before contacting your Authorized Service Dealer.
