Product Overview
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.
Warning
This appliance can throw debris, possibly causing serious personal injury to you or bystanders.
-
Do not blow hard objects such as nails, bolts, or rocks.

Do not operate the blower near bystanders or pets.
-
Use extra care when cleaning debris from stairs or other tight areas.

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.

Starting, Stopping, and Adjusting the Air Speed
Double-insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two 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 your 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) 
may also be marked on the appliance.

You do not need to lubricate the appliance; all necessary lubrication has been completed at the factory for the life of the appliance.

Troubleshooting
