– Never operate the blower with a missing, cracked or
worn intake screen or housing.
– Never operate the blower without a properly
mounted blower tube and nozzle.
– Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the
body away from openings and moving parts of the
blower.

high speed. To reduce the risk of eye or other serious
personal injuries to bystanders from blown objects:
