Working Conditions
When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your
control handle (and grip for vacuum
attachment) are in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord, exten-
sion cords and plugs before and after
each use for signs of damage or aging.
Warning!
Your blower is a one-person machine.
To reduce the risk of eye or other injury
from thrown objects, do not direct air
blast towards bystanders, since the high
pressure of the air flow could injure eyes
and could blow small objects at great
speed. Ensure that bystanders are at
least 50 feet (15m) away during use.
Switch off the motor immediately if you
are approached.

Warning!
Operate your machine outdoors under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other illnesses.
Control dust at the source where possi-
ble. Use good work practices, such as
operating the unit so that the wind or
operating process directs any dust
raised by the power tool away from the
operator. Follow the recommendations
of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust (“particulate matter”). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or near the ambi-
ent (background) level, the operator and
any bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
Warning!
If the substance being blown is a com-
mercial substance, review, understand
and follow all warnings and instructions
contained in the material safety data
sheet for that substance and/or consult
the material manufacturer/supplier. The
state of California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause can-
cer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury, res-
piratory illness or cancer. The use and
disposal of asbestos-containing prod-
ucts have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protection
Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or oth-
erwise disturbing asbestos, immediately
contact EPA, your employer or a local
OSHA representative.
