cue pits, ashtrays, etc.

Never place objects inside the blower

tubes; always direct the blowing debris

away from people, animals, glass, and

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.

VACUUM SAFETY

source before opening the air inlet door or

attempting to insert or remove the vacu-

um tubes. The motor must be stopped

and the impeller blades no longer turning

to avoid serious injury from the rotating

blades.

Hard objects can be thrown through the

collection bag or the housing and become

dangerous missiles which can cause seri-

ous injury to the operator or others.

When using the vacuum attachment, the

unit is designed to pick up dry material

such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and

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.

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.

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.

Always use the collection bag shoulder

strap when vacuuming to avoid loss of

control.

Check air intake openings, elbow tube,

and vacuum tubes frequently, always with

the unit stopped and the power source

disconnected. Keep vents and tubes free

of debris which can accumulate and re-

strict proper air flow. Do not use with any
