SAFETY RULES
WARNING
(PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this blower. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the blower.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this blower has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The blower plug will t into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will t into the polarized wall outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
