Your Yardworks leaf blower model 60-3866-8 may have stopped working due to one of the following reasons:
1. Unit is unplugged – Check that the cord is properly plugged into an electrical outlet. 2. Power/speed switch is in the OFF position – Slide the switch to high or low. 3. Defective power switch – If the switch is faulty, return the unit to the place of purchase or a Repair Centre. 4. Vac tubes are not correctly installed – Ensure that the vac tubes are installed correctly so that the switch is engaged. 5. Intake gate/cover is not closed – Make sure the intake gate/cover is fully closed and locked.
Check each of these possible causes to determine why your blower stopped working.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING WARNING: When using the unit, follow all safety rules. Please read these instructions before operating the unit in order to ensure the safety of the operator and any bystanders. Please keep these instructions for later use. Read the instructions carefully.
EXTENSION CORDS: Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. That is heavy enough to carry the current your unit will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power, as well as overheating. The table shown above illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating.
Do not put any objects into any of the openings. Do not use with any of the air openings blocked; keep the air openings free of dirt, debris and anything that may reduce the air flow. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
