VACUUM SAFETY
• Stop the motor and disconnect the
power source before opening the air
inlet door or attempting to insert or re-
move the vacuum tubes. The motor
must be stopped and the impeller
blades no longer turning to avoid seri-
ous injury from the rotating blades.
• Hard objects can be thrown through
the collection bag or the housing and
become dangerous missiles which
can cause serious injury to the opera-
tor or others.
• When using the vacuum attachment,
the unit is designed to pick up dry ma-
terial such as leaves, grass, small
twigs, and bits of paper. Do not vacu-
um stones, gravel, metal, broken
glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to
the impeller. To avoid the possibility of
electrical shock, do not attempt to vac-
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 running
to avoid flying debris. Use only recom-
mended 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, always
with the unit stopped and the power
source disconnected. Keep vents and
tubes free of debris which can accu-
mulate and restrict proper air flow. Do
not use with any opening blocked,
Keep free of dust, lint, hair and any-
thing that may reduce air flow.
