INSTALLATION
1. Your Bugwacker should be hung or post mounted
from a pole, bracket or post mounted from a pole,
bracket or post (available as accessories)at a height
of 6 to 8 feet above the ground. This is the flying
altitude for many types of light-sensitive insects and
will increase the unit's effectiveness.
2. Plug electrical cord into a three-wire grounded out-
door extension cord. Lamp will emit a soft bluish
glow.
Note: A momentary arc may occur across the high
voltage grids when first plugged in. This-is
due to the surge of electricity. It will stop
and resume normal operation.
3. Refer to Illustration B.
Placement of the unit is
essential to its maximum
effectiveness. Since the
Bugwacker is a luring
device, it should not be
located in the area in-
tended for human activity.
It should be placed 25 to
50 feet away, and between
the source of insects (i.e.
woods, lowlands, etc.) arid
the areas to be protected.

to yellow light.

patios, summer homes, trailer homes, campgrounds,
marinas, outdoor recreational areas, gardens or any-
where flying insects are a problem.
EXTENSION CORDS
Outdoor extension cords must be used with this Bug-
wacker. Use extension cords marked SJW-A, or SJTW-A
and tagged "suitable for use with outdoor appliances".
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be as
great as the electrical rating of your Bugwacker.
Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-
prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles
which accept the products plug.
Appropriate extension cords and devices for retaining
an extension cord connection to the Bugwacker power
cord are available at your local Sears store. Replace or
repair damaged cords.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Bugwacker is equipped with an appropriate three-
conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to
fit the proper grounding type receptacle. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
Your Bugwacker has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug shown below and is intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet as shown below.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt as to whether proper grounding exists.
OPERATION
1. General: Your new Sears Bugwacker is designed to
attract light-sensitive flying insects with black light,
and to kill them cleanly without the use of poisons,
fogs, sprays or chemicals.
Insects are drawn to the fluorescent bulb, and killed
by an electrostatic grid when they pass through it.
Thd insects do not have to actually touch the grid to
be killed. The moisture in their bodies is enough to
trigger the arc, so that even the tiniest of bugs are
eliminated.
The handsome, lantern-styled Bugwacker sheds a soft,
glowing decorative light which is harmless to your
eyes and costs only pennies a day to enjoy. The 70
watts of Black Light energy make this unit a powerful
insect killer that is ecologically safe, effective and eco-
nomical to operate.
2. Night Flying Insects: Night flying insects such as
mosquitoes, gnats, moths, etc., respond to the black
light rays emitted by the Bugwacker's ultra-violet
bulbs. These insects are sensitive to light, and take
cover during the heat of day in grass,shrubs and
other foliage.

and killing biting mosquitoes

moisture, heat and carbon
dioxide, which makes the mos-
quitoes respond to the light as
if a human were there.
