SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

For houshould use only.

Install only on a nominal 120 V supply protected by a maximum 20 A overcurrent protective

device.

Do not use near bystanders.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should,

has been dropped, damaged, or dropped into water, bring it to a service center.

Use extra care when using on stairs.

Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline,

or use in areas where they may be present.

EXTENSION CORDS: Make sure the extension cord is in good condition and that is heavy

enough to carry the current your unit will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a

drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power as well as overheating. The table shown

above illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate

amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size wire gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord. To prevent the cord from disconnecting from the unit, use

the cord hook shown in the Operating Instructions.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or

outlet(s) that will be used for the unit. Receptacles with built-in GFCI protection should be

used as an added safety measure.

A nameplate on Blower/Vac indicates the voltage used. Never connect the unit to an AC

voltage that differs from this voltage.

Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection periodically. Look closely for

deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage.

Repair or replace the cords if any defects appear.

Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate the Blower/Vac in damp or wet conditions.

Moisture is a shock hazard.

Do not use the unit in the rain.

Do not handle the plug or the unit with wet hands.

WHILE OPERATING

Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards.

Also wear ear/hearing protection when operating this unit. Wear a face or dust mask

when operating in dusty environments. Long-sleeved shirts are recommended.

Wear heavy, long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short

pants, and sandals or go barefoot. Tie hair back.

Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry a unit that is plugged in with your finger on the

trigger switch. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position when plugging in the unit.

Do not set the unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while the motor is running.

Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc.,could be picked up by the air intake and

thrown out by the discharge opening, damaging the Blower/Vac, property, or causing

serious injury to bystanders or operator.

Use this product for only its intended purpose

Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Do not operate from unstable

surfaces like ladders, trees, slopes or rooftops.

Do not abuse the power cord. Do not pull or carry the unit by the cord, use the cord as a

handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep

the cord away from heated surfaces, oil and sharp edges.

Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Always remain alert. Use common sense. To prevent injury to yourself and others, do not

operate this unit if you are fatigued.

Do not operate the unit while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

Do not leave the Blower/Vac plugged in when not in use, changing attachments, or while

being serviced.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not put any objects into any of the openings. Do not use with any of the air openings

blocked; keep the air openings free of dirt, debris and anything that may reduce the air

flow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving

parts.

When servicing this unit use only the replacement parts identical to those listed in this

manual. These parts are available from your authorized service dealer. Use of parts that

do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance,

compromised safety and void the Blower/Vac warranty.

Do not force unit. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of injury at the rate for

which it was designed.

Never use the Blower/Vac without the blower tube or the vac tubes and bag attached.

Turn off all controls before unplugging.

The Blower/Vac must be unplugged before attempting to install or remove the blower tube

or the vac tubes and bag.

WHILE OPERATING UNIT AS A BLOWER

Never point the blower in the direction of people or pets or in the direction of windows.

Use extra caution when blowing debris near solid objects such as trees, automobiles and

walls.

WHILE OPERATING UNIT AS A VAC

Avoid situations that could catch the bag on fire. Do not operate near an open flame. Do

not vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. Do not vac

discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.

The unit is designed to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of

paper. Do not attempt to vacuum wet debris and/or standing water as this may result in

damage to the Blower/Vac. To avoid severe damage to the impeller, do not vacuum metal,

rocks or broken glass.

OTHER SAFETY WARNINGS

Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.

Store the unit in a dry area, locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage, and stored

in a high place out of the reach of children.

CONNECTING THE POWER CORD

Use a minimum 25’ (7.6 m.) long, 16AWG, outdoor electrical cord when using this unit. Other

sizes include:

MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR

120 VOLT APPLIANCES USING 0-12 AMPS*

Cord length (ft.) 25 50 100 150

Wire size (AWG)* 16 14 12 10

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug(one

blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. This unit has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord.

This unit plug will only fit into a polarized extension cord in one orientation. If the plug does not

fully fit 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 require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit

into a polarized wall outlet in a specific orientation. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall

outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper wall outlet. Do not change the unit plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord

plug in any way.

1. Secure the extension cord to the motor housing using the notch above the handle.

This prevents accidental removal of the electrical cord.

2. Plug the female end of the electrical cord into the receptacle at the back of the unit.

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times

when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations

WARNING

To prevent serious personal injury or damage to the unit, make sure the blower

tube or the vac tubes and the bag are in place before operating the unit.

The bag is installed and zipped closed (when used as a vac).

Always hold the unit with both hands when operating.

Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear handle or grips.

To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is

required.

Use the shoulder strap when using unit as a vac.

Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not early in the morning or late at

night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual

recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.

To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at anyone time.

To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job.

applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and

gardens.

Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely

away.

Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
