⚠ WARNING When using electric appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

⚠ WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

• Do not leave the appliance when it is connected to a power source. Unplug it from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy. Pay close attention when the appliance is used by or near children.

• Use this appliance ONLY as described in the manual. Use only DEWALT recommended attachments.

• Do not use this appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working correctly, or if has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to a service center.

• Do not pull or carry this appliance by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug this appliance by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any objects into the openings of the appliance. Do not use the appliance with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything else that may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from the openings and moving parts.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

- An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Ampere Rating		Volts	Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
		120V	25 (7.6) 50	(15.2) 100	(30.5) 150	(45.7)
		240V	50 (15.2) 1	00 (30.5) 2	00 (61.0) 3	00 (91.4)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

GROUNDING METHODS GROUNDED OUTLET GROUNDING PIN (A) GROUNDED OUTLET BOX B) ADAPTER METAL SCREW TAB FOR GROUNDING SCREW (C)

In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. Ensure that the air mover is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No grounding adapter should be used with this appliance.

▲ WARNING: This product can expose to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

WARNING:

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size for safety.
• When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not use to blow combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided combustible material.
• Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents.
• Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from the material supplier.
• Do not use air mover as a step ladder.
• Do not place heavy objects on air mover.

WARNING:

To reduce exposure to chemicals, wear approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING:

Do not point the air mover at other people or any living thing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

⚠ WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS AIR MOVER WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

Follow these instructions to operate the air mover:

• Unpack air mover from carton.
• To use unit, place the unit in the area most suitable for the application. Several factors need to be considered; the unit must be placed close enough to an AC outlet to be plugged in, there must be a minimum clearance of two feet from either side of the unit to allow for proper air flow, and the unit should not be placed where it can become a tripping or safety hazard.(see Figure A)
• Use only on a level and stable surface to prevent air mover from falling and possibly causing injury or damage to unit.
