I bought this but can't seem to find an extension cord that will fit the plug on the blower. Am I missing a part or am I just overlooking something?

You will want to purchase a 12 gauge chord for this blower that can handle the amps. Amazon sells them. Search for US Wire 74100 12/3 heavy duty 100ft yellow extension chord. That's the one I use with my snow joe.

I have a 100' 12/3 extension cord purchased from Lowe's. It fits with no problem. I do recommend the 12/3 cord because of the high amps of the snow thrower.

You need to buy the chord separately. I got mine at Sams club but here is one on Amazon you can use. Dont try any standard house chord...it might cause a fire. You need a 15 amp chord.US Wire 65050 12/3 50-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord by US Wire and Cable

Make sure it is a heavy duty extension cord with a polarized plug, and make sure you match the taller sides. I got mine at Home Depot, and it works for me for what it's worth. (I got the heaviest 100' cord they had, and they don't come cheap).

Hi Nikhil, I have 2 extension cords that work with this snow blower. They are standard extension cords, rated for 15amp. I purchased them from my local retailer. You wont need anything special. Just a normal extension. It is recommended that the cord be rated for 15amps.

We use an outdoor extension cord. If that isn't the problem call the company.

I assembled my snow blower inside the house, plugged it in and it fired right up. Maybe the outlet has a surge protection button that was tripped and needs to be reset. Other than that, I have no clue as my blower always works. You do have to press the start button first and then grab the levers when starting it.

I use a hose reel. You have to fix one end to the reel, and unroll the cord to where you want it, then plug another extension cord into the wall and into the plug attached to the reel.

The package mine came in, says it fits ALL B&D.; Does not mention any other blower/vac. You need to know the size and shape of your vac discharge outlet. But then the B&D; has groves that the hose snaps into. You could buy it and maybe find a way to make it work for you. If not, you could aways send it back. It sure beats hauling a bag around on your back!

If you mean the thing that the end of the blower fits, I don't know. Mine did not come with one.

The cord remains out by a few inches. My first experience w/this model was at a hotel. The strength of the blow power is what encouraged me to buy one. But sadly the blower stopped working after just a few months.

Home depot. Get an orange 3 foot standard extension cord with one outlet on the end (like you use for a table saw) should fit perfect

If not a wiring issue, look into the compressor start capacitor. There usually is a separate one for the blower so that would start but not the compressor. Other than those no other easy fixes.

There is a hole in the rear of the handle that you can loop the power extension cord through. About 8-12" from the end of the cord, bend it doublel, and push it through the hole. Then press it under the little retention arm. Now when you plug in the sno thro, it won't pull out the plug. There is a really good diagram showing how to do this in the instructions. I hope this helps.

I bought a heavy duty extension cord. It works just fine. Powerful. I love it.

It looks like the connector is different that what comes with the BV-006. But if you have a second blower nozzle you can do what I did for my neighbor, we cut his blower nozzle short and glued it to the connector for the hose. it works great that way and he is happy with it. P.S. you can get a second blower nozzle from the manufacture too.

As a followup to my reply, I do not use the small bag that comes with the blower. I use a leaf collection system, Black & Decker part #BV-006 which covers the top of a 30 gallon plastic container and also an adapter, Black & Decker part #90528426 that connects the blower to the leaf collection system.I think that you can purchase both of these items through Dewalt Service Center, 5999 Crawfordsville Rd., Indianapolis, In 46224. Telephone # 317-243-8308.Hope this additional information will help you. I purchased these additional items so I didn't have to empty the small bag so often.

I think the shipper gives you the choice of a "pig tail" cord or other. We have an older system that has the hose outlet and then the plug beside it so I got the pig tail electrical cord that gives some slack to plug into the wall outlet. I also still have my old power head that I keep downstairs and it hooks up just fine to that it also has the two prong.

ace hardware has electric plugs that you attach to a cord for around 4 dollars. Get this, cut the cord to the length you want and attach the plug = easy mode. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=29259596. I hope this helps!

Try using a connector piece that is used to connect two 4" pipes together. It's slightly bigger in diameter than the pipe. You can put one end of the connector on the pipe and put the blower on the other end.

There is no extension cord provided. The retaining spadce is not adequate for an extension cord.
