Blower safety warnings
• Inspect the area before using the unit.
Remove all debris and hard objects such
as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that can ricochet,
be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or
damage during operation.
• Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a blower,
always install a blower tube. Use only recom-
mended attachments to prevent personal injury.
• Do not use blower near leaf or brush fires,
fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
Proper use of the blower will help avoid
spreading fire.
• Never place objects inside the blower
tubes; always direct the blowing debris
away from people, animals, glass, and
solid objects such as trees, automobiles,
walls, etc.
The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks
to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt
people or animals, break glass, or cause other
damage.
• Never use for spreading chemicals,
fertil izers, or any other substances.
This will prevent the spreading of toxic
materials.
Vacuum safety warnings
• Stop the motor and disconnect the exten-
sion cord before opening the air inlet
door or attempting to insert or remove the
vacuum tubes. The motor must be stopped
and the impeller blades no longer turning to
avoid serious injury from the rotating blades.
• Inspect the area before using the unit.
Hard objects can be thrown through the
collection bag or the housing and become
dangerous missiles which can cause
serious injury to the operator or others.
• Do not vacuum stones, gravel, metal,
broken glass, etc.
Proper use of the unit will reduce possible
personal injury and/or damage to the unit.
• Do not attempt to vacuum water or other
liquids. Water or other liquids entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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 recommended attachments.
• Do not vacuum discarded matches, cigars,
cigarettes, or ash from fireplaces, barbecue
pits, brush piles, etc.
Avoid situations which could set the collection
bag on fire. To avoid spreading fire, do not use
blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces,
barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
• Always use the shoulder strap when
vacuuming. This will help maintain control of
the power tool.
• 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 accumulate and restrict
proper air flow. Do not use with any opening
blocked. Keep free of dust, lint, hair and
anything that may reduce air flow.
