BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum
tube fitted. Failure to follow this warning increases the
risk of personal injury.
NOTE: Without the lower vacuum tube fitted, it is much
easier to reach up inside the tube towards the fan blade.
14
checking, cleaning, or working on the product
inspecting the product after striking a foreign object
Immediately stop the engine in an event of accident
or breakdown. Do not operate the product again until
it has been fully checked by an authorised service
centre.
Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce
the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
Do not use the product near open windows.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so that the air
stream can work close to the ground and perform
effectively.
In blower mode, use the product with the vacuum
tubes fitted, or you may choose to remove them and
close the fan guard. You must never separate the
vacuum tubes and operate with only the upper tube
fitted. These tubes are designed to be a one-time fit.
If you attempt to separate the fitted vacuum tubes, the
tubes will be damaged. This significantly increases the
potential for serious injury by contact with the rotating
fan.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes.
Do not place the product on top of or near loose debris.
Debris can be sucked into the intake vent, resulting in
possible damage to the product.
WARNING
Do not operate the vacuum without the debris collector
bag assembly installed. Flying debris could cause
serious injury. Make sure that the debris collector bag
is in good condition and completely closed before
operating the product.
Move the vacuum from side to side along the outer
edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the
vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
