5. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this product with any solid-state speed control device.
6. Connect electrical power cord into a grounded receptical protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Please contact
a qualified electrician for verification purposes and/or installation of a GFCI receptical if necessary.
7. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
CAUTION:
1. The Blower is a high volume fan, and is capable of moving lots of air very quickly.
2. Check the Blower before every use. Make sure there is no damage to the Blower before operating.
3. Fix the Blower when necessary.
OPERATING:
1. Plug the blower into a suitable voltage power, turn on motor switch.
2. If your blower is equipped with a GFCI near the plug and the blower shuts off, please check the GFCI to resume power.
3. Turn off motor switch and unplug the Blower after use.
4. The power supply should be disconnected if the Blower needs to be transported or removed.
MAINTENANCE:
1. To keep the Blower clean you can use a dry cloth wetted with a neutral solution or water to wipe the surface of the Blower.
Wet the cloth conservatively, so no liquid is dripping off of the cloth during cleaning.
2. Never expose the blower directly to water, submerge in any liquid, or expose the inside components to any liquids.
3. When not in use, unplug and store the Blower indoors, in a dry place out of children’s reach.
The best way to measure wind is with a scientific device, however, below is the US national weather services “rule-of-thumb” guide to wind speeds.
Wind Force Scale
In 1806 Sir Francis Beaufort developed a rating system for accurate recording of wind speed. This system was developed for
sailers, but has since been modified for use on land.
