mum performance. Read this manual before assembling

or pull cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp the plug,
not the cord.

Do not expose cord to heated surfaces, oil, water, or
pull around sharp edges, corners, or close door on

the “OFF” position while connecting and disconnect-
ing to a power supply. Do not carry plugged-in power
blower with finger on the switch.
