WARNING
Clear the area of children bystanders, and pets. At
a minimum, keep all children, bystanders, and pets
outside a 15 m (50 ft) radius; outside the 15 m (50 ft)
zone, there is still a risk of injury from thrown objects.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye
protection. If you are approached, stop the engine.
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, never operate the
unit without the upper blower tube firmly installed.
WARNING
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or
removing attachments. Do not operate without guards
in place. Always disconnect the spark plug before
performing maintenance or accessing movable parts.
OPERATING TIPS
• While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit
with the muffler side facing away from your body and
clothes.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
sound level(s), hearing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, stop the engine before installing
or removing attachments. Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours-
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the
lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when
water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars. Blow debris away safely.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream
can work close to the ground.

• After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN
