um stones, gravel, metal, broken
glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to
the impeller. To avoid the possibility of

uum 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 run­
ning to avoid flying debris. Use only
recommended attachments.
Avoid situations which could set the
collection bag on fire. Do not vacuum
discarded 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, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc.
Always use the collection bag shoul­
der strap when vacuuming to avoid
loss of control.
• Check air intake openings, elbow
tube, and vacuum tubes frequently, al­
ways with the unit stopped and the
power source disconnected. Keep
vents and tubes free of debris which
can accumulate and restrict proper air
flow. Do not use with any opening
blocked. Keep free of dust, lint, hair
and anything that may reduce airflow.
