BLOWER SAFETY
D Use only in daylight or in good artificial
light.
D Inspect the area before using the unit.
Remove all debris and hard objects such
as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that can rico-
chet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury
or damage during operation.
D Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
switch is in the
OFF position and keep
your hand and fingers away from the
switch while connecting the unit to the
power source or when carrying a unit
connected to the power source.
D Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a
blower, always install a blower tube. Use
only recommended attachments. Do not
use with any opening blocked, Keep free

reduce air flow.

cue pits, ashtrays, etc.
D Never place objects inside the blower
tubes; always direct the blowing debris
away from people, animals, glass, and
solid objects such as trees, automobiles,
walls, etc. The force of air can cause
rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to rico-
chet which can hurt people or animals,
break glass, or cause other damage.

izers, or any other substances which may
contain toxic materials.

um tubes. The motor must be stopped
and the impeller blades no longer turning

D When using the vacuum attachment, the
unit is designed to pick up dry material

bits of paper. Do not vacuum stones,
gravel, metal, broken glass, etc., to avoid
severe damage to the impeller. To avoid
the possibility of electrical shock, do not
attempt to vacuum water or other liquids.
D Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a
vacuum, always install vacuum tubes
and collection bag assembly. Make sure
the collection bag assembly is completely
zipped when unit is running to avoid flying
debris. Use only recommended attach-
ments.
D Avoid situations which could set the col-
lection bag on fire. Do not vacuum dis-
carded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or
ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush
piles, etc. To avoid spreading fire, do not
use blower near leaf or brush fires, fire-
places, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

and vacuum tubes frequently, always
with the unit stopped and the power

tubes free of debris which can accumu-
late and restrict proper air flow. Do not
