5. For safe operation
WARNING
2. Before starting operation, always make
sure to check if any obstacles are left
inside the volute case and net. The
obstacles may cause damage on fan
and volute case and serious injury.
3. Check to see if the shock-absorbing
rubber mount has become cracked or
otherwise damaged. Note that failing to
replace this rubber mount when it has
become cracked or damaged may
cause the engine to come loose from its
frame during use, thus resulting in
possible serious bodily injury. If
cracked, be sure to replace without
delay.
4. Check the work area that the blower will
be used in and remove or cover all
valuables that may be damaged by the
air blast or thrown debris.
■ Using the product
1. To reduce the risk of injury associated with
thrown objects.
a: Watch out for children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed cars, and
blow debris safely away.
b: Use the full blower nozzle extension so
the air stream can work close to the
ground.
c: Do not allow bystaders in work area.
d: Do not point the blower tube in the
direction of people or pets.
e: Always check to be sure that no debris
has been blown onto someone else's
property.
f: Pay attention to the direction of the
wind, do not work against the wind.
g: Never point a blower tube toward an
open flame to avoid the possibility of
igniting the unit, causing injury to
yourself or damage to surroundings.
2. To minimize blowing time.
a: Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris
before blowing.
b: In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
c: Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and
garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches and gardens.

during operaion, promptly stop the blower
and check whether something has broken.

coming into contact with sparks or naked
flames from electrical equipment, electric
moters, relays/switches, boilers and the
