SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
S Ne
v
er touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an electi-
cal shock.
S Never touch the muffler, spark plug, other
metallic parts of the engine or engine
cover while the engine is in operation or
immediately after shutting down the
engine. These metallic parts and engine
cover reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.
S Be careful, particularly if left hand opera-
tion is applied. Avoid any direct body con-
tact with inlet cover area. Keep jewelry,
loose clothing, or clothing with loosely
hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc., away
from inlet cover area.
S Do not operate the blower while standing
on a ladder or a stand.
Other safety measures
S Operate the blower only at reasonable
hours, i.e. not early in the morning or late
at night when people might be disturbed.
Comply with times listed in local ordi-
nances. Usual recommendations are 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Satur-
day.
S To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S Operate the blower at the lowest possible
throttle setting to do the job.
S Check the condition of the blower before
operation, especially the muffler, air intake
and air filter .
S Use a rake or a broom to loosen ground
debris before blowing.
S Under dusty conditions, slightly spray the
work area with a hose.
S Conserve water by using blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as roof
gutters, screens, patios and gardens etc.
S Watch out for children, pets, open windows
or vehicles, and blow debris safely away.
S Use the full nozzle extension so the air
stream can work close to the ground.
S After using the blower, clean up and
dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
Disposal
S When disposing of your machine and/or
fuel or oil for the machine, be sure to follow
all local regulations.
