5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

￭

Use of this blower can generate dust and other

substances containing chemicals known to cause

respiratory problems, cancer, birth defects and other

reproductive harm.

–

Consult governmental agencies such as EPA,

OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other authoritative

sources on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar

with the risks associated with the particular

substances with which you are working.

￭

Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such

as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have

an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated

inhalation of dust or other airborne contaminants,

especially those with a smaller particle size, may cause

respiratory or other illnesses.

–

Control dust at the source where possible.

–

To the extent possible, operate the blower so that

the wind or operating process directs any dust, mist

or other particulate matter raised by the blower away

from the operator.

–

When respirable dust or other particulate matter

cannot be kept at or near background levels, always

wear a respirator that is approved by NIOSH and

rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the

recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g.,

OSHA/NIOSH) and occupational and trade

associations.

￭

If the surrounding ground is coated with a chemical

substance, such as pesticide or herbicide:

–

Read and follow the instructions and warnings that

accompanied the substance coating the vegetation

or surrounding ground.

5.7.4

Operating Instructions

WARNING

￭

In the event of an emergency:

–

Switch off the motor immediately and remove the

activation key.

￭

The blower fan between the air intake and output opening

rotates whenever the motor is running. To reduce the risk

of injury from contact with the blower fan:

–

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.

￭

The air flow from the blower can propel small objects at

high speed. To reduce the risk of eye or other serious

personal injuries to bystanders from blown objects:

–

Keep bystanders and pets at least 16 ft. (5 m) away

when the blower is running.

–

Never direct the air flow toward bystanders or pets.

–

Do not allow the blower to be used as a toy.

–

Switch off the blower immediately if you are

approached.

￭

A missing, cracked or worn intake screen or housing may

result in an increased risk of injury from thrown objects.

–

Never operate a blower that has a missing, cracked

or worn intake screen or housing.

￭

Inserting any foreign object into the air intake or nozzle

may result in property damage, including damage to the

blower itself, and serious injury to the operator or

bystanders as a result of the object or broken parts being

blown at high speed.

–

Never insert any objects into the nozzle or air intake

of the blower.

–

Immediately switch off the blower if it starts to vibrate

abnormally.
