

WARNING: When using an electric

appliance, basic safety precautions should always

be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and

personal injury, including the following.



WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injury.

To Reduce Risk of Injury:

• Avoid dangerous environmental conditions – Do not

use electric units in damp or wet locations. Don’t use the

unit in the rain.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection,

filter mask if operation is dusty, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for

appropriateconditions.

• Use the right unit – Do not use this unit for any job

except that for which it is intended.

• Inspect the area before using the unit. Remove all debris

and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can

ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage

during operation.

• Keep children, bystanders and animals away from

the work area a minimum of 30 feet (10 meters) when

starting or operating the unit.

• Maintain unit with care. Keep unit clean for best

and safest performance. Follow instructions for

propermaintenance.

• Stay alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate unit when you are tired.

• Do not place outlet of blower near eyes or ears

whenoperating.

• Do not attempt to clear clogs from unit without

firstdisconnecting it from the power source.

• Do not immerse any part of the unit in liquid.

• Do not use unit if switch does not turn it on or

off. A unit that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

• Do not allow debris to be ingested into blower intake.

• Do not point unit discharge at self or bystanders.

• Do not use to blow explosive dust, or in areas where

air contains explosive dust such as coal, grain, or other

combustible material.

Additional Safety Information



WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses.

Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.



WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicalsare:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing and

wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing

dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.



WARNING: Use of this tool can generate

and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious

and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always

use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles

away from face andbody.



WARNING: Always wear proper

personal hearing protection that conforms

to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise from this

product may contribute to hearingloss.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in movingparts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size

(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The

smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the

capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity

than 18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

When using more than one extension to make up the

• Do not operate blower in a gaseous or explosive

atmosphere. Motors in these units normally spark, and

the sparks might ignite fumes.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from

outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is

not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left

outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

• Never leave blower running unattended. Turn

poweroff.

• Unplug before connecting the tube.

• Store idle units. When not in use, the unit should be

stored in a dry, high or locked-up place - out of reach

ofchildren.

• This appliance is provided with double insulation.

Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for

Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an

extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW

orSJTW.

• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from

the extension cord during operating:

i) Make a knot as shown in Figure B; or

ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps

or connectors described in this manual.

iii) Secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as

shown or described in the OperatingInstructions.

Fig. B

• Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords

periodically and replace if damaged.



WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal

injury due to a loose electrical connection between

the appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and

fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord.

Periodically check the connection while operating to

ensure it is fully attached. Do not use an extension

cord that provides a loose connection. A loose

connection may result in overheating, fire, and

increases the risk of a burning.

Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances

Your Blower is double-insulated to give you added safety.

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

qualified service personnel. 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 insulated or “double insulation”. The symbol

(square within a square) may also be marked on the

appliance.

Safety Rules and Instructions:

Extension Cords

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used

with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed

extension cords should be used, and we recommend that

they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in

Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord must

be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor

can also be used for indoor work.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or

American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of

power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number

of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is

16gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using

more than one extension cord to make up the total length,

be sure each individual extension cord contains at least the

minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect

it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and

defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the

cord if necessary.

Safety Rules and Instructions:

Polarized Plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This

equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or

3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together

only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the

extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the

plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If

the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change

the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
