properly before operating the unit,
such as debris collector bag.
17. Keep all bystanders especially pets
and children at least fifty (50) feet
from the unit while using.
18. To avoid unintentionally starting of
the unit, do NOT carry plugged-in
unit with your finger on the switch.

balance at all times.
22. Wear heavy, long pants, boots,
gloves and a long sleeve shirt. Do
NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry,
short pants sandals or go barefoot.
Secure hair above shoulder level.
23. Always turn switch off when
vacuuming or blowing is delayed or
when changing locations. Always
inspect new locations before
operating.
24. To reduce the risk of electrical
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.0
25. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection should always be
provided on electrical circuits or
outlets to be used for this unit.
26. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use only with a two conductor
extension cord intended for outdoor
use.
27. Never connect the unit to an AC
voltage that differs from the one on
the unit’s rating plate.
28. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
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 fit
into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit,
obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord
requires the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into a polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug
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.
29. When using an extension cord, make
sure that it is a cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current that your
unit will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop is
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The table below
shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length and
amperage rating.
