WARNING: Read and under-
stand this owner’s manual before
operating blower/vac. Make cer-
tain you read and understand all
Safety Warnings on pages 1 and
2 of this manual. Improper use
of this blower/vac can result in
severe injury or death from re,
electric shock, or body contact
with moving parts.
Connecting Extension Cord
WARNING: Fully seat the ex-
tension cord on the inlet plug of
blower/vac. Failure to do so could
lead to overheating of blower/
vac. This could cause a re that
results in personal injury to you
or others.
e blower/vac has a built-in extension
cord retainer. is cord hitch prevents ac-
cidental disconnection of the power cord
during use. e cord hitch is molded into
the lower rear of the blower/vac housing.

of appliance (see Figure 4-1).
2. Create a loop in the extension cord
and insert the loop through the cord

Figure 4-2).
3. Pull the loop tight around the molded
cord hitch (see Figure 4-3).

hold 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 periodi-
cally and replace if damaged. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your blower/vac
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
e table below shows the correct size exten-
sion cord to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next larger gauge cord. e smaller the
gauge number, the larger the cord. To reduce
the risk of disconnection of blower/vac from
the extension cord during operation, use the
cord hitch described in this manual.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
blower/vac has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord. e
blower/vac’s plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
is plug will fit into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the blower/vac
plug, extension cord receptacle, or exten-
sion cord plug in any way.
Inspect cord often. Replace if damaged.
