Blower safety warnings:
S 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.
S Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a
blower, always install a blower tube.
Use only recommended attachments to
prevent personal injury.
S Do not use blower near leaf or brush
fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc. Proper use of the
blower will help avoid spreading fire.
S Never place objects inside the
blower tubes; always direct the
blowing debris away from people,
animals, glass, and solid objects
such as trees, automobile s, 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.
S Never use for spreading chemicals,
fertilizers, or any other substances.
This will prevent the spreading of toxic
materials.
Vacuum safety warnings:
D Stop the motor and disconnect the
extension 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.
D 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.
D Do not vacuum stones, grav el, metal,
broken glass, etc. Proper use of the
unit will reduce possible personal injury
and/or damage to the unit.
D Do not attempt to vacuum water or
other liquids. Water or other liquids
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
D 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.
D 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.
D Always use the shoulder strap when
vacuuming. This will help maintain
control of the power tool.
D 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.
