IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AWARNING:
When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and serious injury. The warnings and safety instructions in this manual must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, and to provide reasonable safety and efficiency in using this unit.
The operator is responsible for following the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit.
Read the entire instruction manual before assembling and using the unit!
Restrict the use of this unit to persons who read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit. Never allow children to use this unit. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
OPERATOR SAFETY
• Always wear safety glasses or similar eye protection when operating, servicing, or performing maintenance on your unit. Wearing eye protection can help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting into eyes and face which can result in blindness or serious injury.
• Always wear a respirator or facemask when working with the unit in dusty environments.
• Dress safely cation.

Hair, clothing ties, jewelry, withloosely tassels, moving etc., parts.
_IkWARNING: environment.
Avoid a dangerous
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc.
Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands.
• Use only a voltage supply as shown on the nameplate of the unit.
• Avoid dangerous situations.
Do not use in presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit.
• Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not use in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances.
The electrical rating of the cord must not be less than the rating of the unit. The cord must be marked with the suffix '_4V". Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. (NOTE: The correct size to be used depending on the cord length is shown in this manual.
See SELECT AN EXTENSION
CORD in the ASSEMBLY section).
• Inspect the insulation and connectors on the unit and extension cord before each use.
If there is any damage, do not use until damage is repaired by your Sears Service Centre. Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to recessed plug as shown in this manual to prevent damage to unit and/or extension cord and to reduce the possibility of the extension cord disconnecting from the unit during operation.
• Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly.
Have the unit repaired by your Sears
Service Centre.
• Keep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times.
Do not expose cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
• Avoid any body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Don't handle plug or unit with wet hands.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your Sears Service
Centre for repair.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCl) protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for this unit.
Receptacles are available having builtin GFCl protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• Keep others including children, animals, bystanders, and helpers a minimum of 30 feet (10 meters) away.
Stop the motor immediately if you are approached.
Do not allow the unit to be used as a toy.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help protect against electric shock.
Double insulation construction consists of two separate "layers" of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a double insulation system are not intended to be grounded.
No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be add-
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten- sion cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.

USING YOUR UNIT AS A BLOWER
'_ WARNING: Inspect the area before using the unit.
Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.
Use your unit as a blower for:
• Sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.
• Blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or between bricks.
INLET RESTRICTOR
The INLET RESTRICTOR improves the blower function.
TUBE RELEASE BUTTON
The TUBE RELEASE BU-i-i-ON secures the blower tube or elbow tube to the blower unit during operation.
Also, pressing the tube release button allows removal of the blower tube or elbow tube.
Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side. Always work away from solid objects such as walks, large stones, vehicles, and fences.
Clean corners by starting in corners and moving outward. This will help prevent an accumulation of debris which could fly into your face.
Be careful when working near plants.
The force of the air could damage tender plants.
USING YOUR UNIT AS A VACUUM
_WARNING: Do not vacuum stones, gravel, metal, broken glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to the impeller.
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not attempt to vacuum water or other liquids.
Use your unit as a vacuum to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper.
• For best results during vacuum use, operate your unit at high speed.
• Move slowly back and forth over the material as you vacuum.
Avoid forcing the unit into a pile of debris as this can clog the unit.
• Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above the ground for best results.
_LWARNING: If the unit becomes clogged, stop the unit and unplug the extension cord. Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning, then remove the vacuum tubes.
Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out the clogged debris.
