SPECIAL NOTICE:

Exposure to vibra-

tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-

ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or

nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and

joints of people prone to circulation disorders

or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold

weather has been linked to blood vessel dam-

age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms

occur such as numbness, pain, loss of

strength, change in skin color or texture, or

loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,

discontinue the use of this tool and seek

medical attention. An anti- vibration system

does not guarantee the avoidance of these

problems. Users who operate power tools on

a continual and regular basis must monitor

closely their physical condition and the condi-

tion of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

This unit is equipped

with a temperature limiting muffler and spark

arresting screen which meets the require-

ments of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All

U.S. forest land and the states of California,

Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-

gon, and Washington require by law that

many internal combustion engines be

equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you

operate in a locale where such regulations ex-

ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining

the operating condition of these parts. Failure

to do so is a violation of the law. For normal

homeowner use, the muffler and spark arrest-

ing screen will not require any service. After

50 hours of use, we recommend that your

muffler be serviced or replaced by your Au-

thorized Service Dealer.

OPERATING TIPS

To reduce the risk of hearing loss

associated with sound level(s), hearing

protection is required.

Operate power equipment only at reasonable

hours--not early in the morning or late at night

when people might be disturbed. Comply with

times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-

mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

Monday though Saturday.

To reduce noise levels, operate power

blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job.

To reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time.

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

fore blowing.

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-

faces when water is available.

Conserve water by using power blowers

instead of hoses for many lawn and garden

applications, including areas such as gutters,

screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

Watch out for children, pets, open windows,

or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away

safely.

Use the full blower tube extension so the air

stream can work close to the ground.

After using blowers and other equipment,

CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-

ceptacles.
