The smaller the gauge number,the larger the cord.To reduce theriskofdisconnectionof blower/vacfrom the extension cord during operation,use the cord hitch described in this manual. Cord Length AWG Cord Size 25 feet 50 feet 100 feet 150 feet 16 AWG 16 AWG 14 AWG 12 AWG 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.The 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. This 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 extension cord plug in any way. Inspect cord often. Replace if damaged. Connecting Extension Cord WARNING: Fully seat the extension cord on the inlet plug of blower/vac. Failure to do so could lead to overheating of blower/ vac. This could cause a fire that results in personal injury to you or others. The blower/vac 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/vac housing. 1. Plug extension cord into the inlet plug of appliance (see Figure 4-1). 2. Create a loop in the extension cord and insert the loop through the cord slot of the blower/vac housing (see Figure 4-2). 3. Pull the loop tight around the molded cord hitch (see Figure 4-3).

The middle switch position, marked “O”, is off. The rear switch position, marked “I”, is low. The forward switch position, marked “II”, is high. See Figure 4-4. Blower Operation Figure 4-4: On/Off switch positions Figure 4-6: On/Off Switch to LOW position WARNING: The blower can throw debris, causing injury to those nearby. • Do not blow nails, bolts, rocks, or other hard objects. • Do not operate blower near bystanders or pets. • Be careful when blowing debris from stairs, corners, or othertightareas.Objectscanbe blown back toward operator. • Wear approved eye protection, long pants, and shoes while operating this blower/vac. Properly assemble the blower/vac for blower operation (see page 4, Assembling Blower).Follow the steps below to operate the blower. 1. Hold blower/vac using the handle on housing (see Figure 4-5). 2. Whenreadytostarttheblower,toggle the on/off switch to either the low “I” or high “II” setting (see Figure 4-6). 3. To stop the blower, toggle the on/offswitch to the off “O” setting.

A worn or deteriorated bag allows vacuum to throw debris through the bag, possibly hitting and injuring the operator. Check vacuum bag frequently. If it is worn, deteriorated, or damaged, replace with a genuine vacuum bag. Properly assemble the blower/vac for vacuum operation (see page 5, Converting from Blower to Vacuum). Follow the steps below to operate the vacuum. 1. Hang vacuum bag from your shoulder using the attached strap. Hold blower/ vac using the handles on housing and vacuum tube adapter assembly (see Figure 4-8). 2. When ready to start the vacuum, toggle the on/off switch to either the low “I”or high “II”setting (see Figure 4-4). 3. Move end of vacuum tube over soft debris. Vacuum will pick up debris, chopit up,anddeposit itinto vacuum bag (see Figure 4-9). 4. Tostopthevacuum,toggletheon/offswitch to the off “O” setting. WARNING: The vacuum can throw debris, causing injury to those nearby. • Donotoperatevacuumwithout the vacuum bag attached or with the bag zipper opened. • Do not vacuum nails, glass, rocks, wire, staples, or other sharp,pointed, or hardobjects.
