SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
Cover as much of your body as possible to help protect you from debris and
pieces of toxic and allergenic plants being thrown by the blower.
Thrown objects may also ricochet and strike the operator or bystander.
Utilize extra caution, when the blower is being used near, or on paved or hard
surfaces, as pieces of metal, concrete, brick, stones, gravel, sand, glass, sticks
and other objects can be thrown at high speed and force and such objects can
be thrown, skip along or ricochet long distances off of hard surfaces.
Do not use this blower for sweeping debris that may contain hard objects, e.g.
pebbles, stones, sticks, glass, metal, etc. as such hard objects can be thrown
with great force and cause injury to the operator or bystanders, and / or
damage property, e.g., screens, windows, building siding, glass doors, or
vehicles.
Avoid operating the blower near property that can be easily damaged by
thrown or ricocheting objects such as screens, windows, building siding, glass
doors and vehicles.
WARNING: Use hearing protection. Use hearing protection such as
ear plugs or ear mufflers to protect your hearing, particularly if the
blower is used for extensive periods or if the surrounding environment
of operation exposes the operator to loud noises. When wearing hearing
protection, you will have impaired ability to hear alarms, warnings and shouts
from approaching people or approaching vehicles. Be extra diligent and
observant of hazards and bystanders when wearing hearing protection
devices. When someone approaches, turn the blower OFF immediately.
WARNING: Always wear breathing protection when operating
the blower. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear breathing
protection devices even if they are kept at a distance as hazardous
dust can travel considerable distances, especially if the dust is wind blown.
WARNING: The high velocity of the air flow coming through the
nozzle will throw objects and debris violently. These objects and
debris will ricochet in all directions. You or bystanders can be blinded or
injured. Keep children, bystanders, pets and other animals at least 50 feet (15
meters) away from the operating blower. Turn the blower OFF immediately if
approached, or if you are approaching such bystanders. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection, even if they are kept at a distance.
