Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord, exten-
sion cords and plugs before and after
each use for signs of damage or aging.
Working Conditions
Warning!
Your blower is a one-person machine.
To reduce the risk of eye or other injury
from thrown objects, do not direct air
blast towards bystanders, since the
high pressure of the air flow could injure
eyes and could blow small objects at
great speed. Ensure that bystanders
are at least 50 feet (15m) away during
use. Switch off the motor immediately if
you are approached.

Warning!
Operate your machine outdoors under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your
control handle (and grip for vacuum
attachment) are in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and
occupational and trade associations
with respect to dust ("particulate mat-
ter"). When the inhalation of dust can-
not be substantially controlled, i.e., kept
at or near the ambient (background)
level, the operator and any bystanders
should wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
Warning!
If the substance being blown is a com-
mercial substance, review, understand
and follow all warnings and instructions
contained in the material safety data
sheet for that substance and/or consult
the material manufacturer/supplier. The
state of California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause can-
cer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated
by OSHA and the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency. If you have any reason
to believe that you might be blowing or
otherwise disturbing asbestos, immedi-
ately contact EPA, your employer or a
local OSHA representative.
