S Avoid any body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of electric shock. S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the cir- cuit or outlet to be used for this unit. Re- ceptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety. S Stop the motor immediately if you are ap- proached. DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION This unit is double insulated to help pro- tect against electric shock. Double insula- tion construction consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of grounding. Tools and appliances builtwith a double insulation system are not in- tended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety precautions must be observed when op- erating any electrical tool. The double in- sulation system only provides added pro- tection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure. WARNING: SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED BLOWER/VACUUM All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc.,must be diag- nosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be iden- tical to the parts they replace. A double in- sulated appliance is marked with the words “double insulation” or “double insu- lated”. The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the ap- pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by an authorized service dealer can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury. UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY S Do not set the unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while the unit is run- ning. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through the dis- charge opening, damaging the unit, prop- erty, or causing serious injury to bystand- ers or operator. S Do not overreach or use from unstable surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Use extra care when cleaning on stairways. Keep firm footing and balance at all times. Keep hands out of tubes. S Inspect the entire unit before each use for worn, loose, missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until the unit is in proper work- ing order. S This unit is double insulated.
