6) Service
a) Have your blower serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
blower is maintained.
b) If appliance is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return
it to a service center.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints,
● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
