•
Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.

Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this
reason you should not start or run the machine
indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
•
The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding, or in high places (such as roofs). Their
work could result in severe injury.

CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.

Be careful when working near plants. The force of the
air could damage tender plants.
•
Never place any objects in air intake opening as this
could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the
unit.
