hard area while the unit is running. Debns such as
gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be picked up by
the air intake and thrown out through the discharge

ous injury to bystanders or the operator.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in
unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors

Do not overreach or use from unstable sur­
faces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops,
etc. Use extra care when cleaning on stairways. Keep
firm footing and balance at all times.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes;
alirays direct the blowing debris away from people,
animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, auto­
mobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks,
dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can
hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other
damage. Do not allow the unit to be used as a toy.
Never place any object in the air intake open­
ing as this could restrict proper air flow and cause
damage to the unit.
Never run the unit without the proper equip­
ment attached. When used as a blower, always in­
stall a blower tube to avoid injury from flying debris
and/or impeller contact which can cause serious inju-
ly. When used as a vacuum, always install vacuum
tubes and collection assembly. Make sure the col­
lection bag assembly is completely zipped when the
motor is running to avoid flying diebns.
Always use the collection bag shoulder strap
when vacuuming to avoid loss of control.
Never use for spreading chemicals, fertiliz­
ers, or any other substances which may contain toxic
materials.
Avoid situations which could set the collec­
tion bag on fire. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or
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.
