5.1 Intended Use
WARNING
￭ This blower is designed for blowing leaves, grass, and
similar material from yards, gardens, sidewalks,
driveways, decks, patios and similar surfaces in the
manner and in the conditions described in this manual.
Use of the blower for operations different than intended
could result in serious injury or death.
– Blow leaves, grass, and similar material only.
￭ Improper use could result in personal injury or property
damage, including damage to the blower.
– Use the blower only as described in this manual.
– Never attempt to modify or override the blower's
controls or safety devices in any way.
– Never use a blower that has been modified or altered
from its original design.
5.2 Operator
WARNING
￭ Working with the blower can be strenuous. The operator
must be in good physical condition and mental health. To
reduce the risk of personal injury from fatigue and loss of
control:
– Check with your doctor before using the blower if you
have any health condition that may be aggravated by
strenuous work.
– Do not operate the blower while under the influence
of any substance (drug, alcohol or medication, etc.)
that might impair vision, balance, dexterity or
judgment.
– Be alert. Do not operate the blower when you are
tired. Take a break if you become tired.
– Do not permit minors to use the blower.
– Bystanders, especially children, and animals should
not be allowed in the area where the blower is in use.
￭ Prolonged use of a blower (or other power tools) exposing
the operator to vibration may produce white finger disease
(Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and
regulate temperature. They produce numbness and
burning sensations and may also cause nerve and
circulation damage as well as tissue necrosis.
To reduce the risk of eye injury, always wear
proper eye protection. Power tool noise may
damage your hearing. Always wear proper sound
barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to protect
your hearing, @ 5.3.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from blown
objects, never direct the air flow toward
bystanders or pets, @ 5.7.4.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury or
illness from inhaling toxic exhaust gases, start
and operate the blower only outdoors in a well
ventilated work area, @ 5.7.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, keep hair
and loose-fitting clothing away from the air
intake, @ 5.3.
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from high velocity air flow and blown
objects, keep bystanders at least 50 ft.
(15 m) away, @ 5.7.4.
