WARNING: Read and un-

derstand this owner’s man-

ual before operating blower.

Make certain you read and

understand all Safety Warn-

ings on pages 4 and 5 of this

manual. Improper use of this

blower can result in severe

injury or death from ﬁ re, elec-

tric shock, or body contact

with moving parts.

Connecting

Extension Cord

WARNING: Fully seat the exten-

sion cord on the inlet plug of blower.

Failure to do so could lead to overheat-

ing of blower. This could cause a ﬁ re

that results in personal injury to you

or others.

The blower has a built-in extension

cord retainer. This cord hitch prevents

accidental disconnection of the power

cord during use. The cord hitch is

molded into the lower rear of the

blower housing.

1. Plug extension cord into the inlet

plug of appliance (See Figure 3).

2. Create a loop in the extension cord

and insert the loop through the

cord slot of the blower housing

(see Figure 4).

IMPORTANT: This blower is for

household use only.

WARNING: To reduce the

risk of electric shock, use

only with an extension cord

intended for outdoor use,

such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-

A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,

SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in

good condition. Inspect extension

cords periodically and replace if dam-

aged. When using an extension cord, be

sure to use one heavy enough to carry

the current your blower will draw. An

undersized extension cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.

The table below shows the correct size

extension cord to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If

in doubt, use the next larger gauge cord.

The smaller the gauge number, the larger

the cord. To reduce the risk of discon-

nection of blower from the extension

cord during operation, use the cord

hitch described in this manual.

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this blower has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other) and will

require the use of a polarized extension

cord. The blower plug will ﬁ t into a

polarized extension cord only one way.

If the plug does not ﬁ t fully into the

extension cord, reverse the plug. If the

plug still does not ﬁ t, obtain a correct

polarized extension cord. A polarized

extension cord will require the use of

a polarized wall outlet. This plug will

ﬁ t into the polarized wall outlet only

one way. If the plug does not ﬁ t fully

into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.

If the plug still does not ﬁ t, contact

a qualiﬁ ed electrician to install the

proper wall outlet. Do not change the

blower plug, extension cord receptacle,

or extension cord plug in any way.

Inspect cord often. Replace if dam-

aged.
