Be constantly alert
for objects and
debris that could be
thrown from the air
blast and bounced
from a hard surface.
(EMISSION COMPLIANCE PERIOD)
Make sure bystanders or
observers outside the 15m
(50-foot) "danger zone" wear
15 METERS
Avoid long-term operation in
very hot or very cold weather.
Reduce the risk of
bystanders being struck
by flying debris. Make sure
no one is within 15 meters
(50 feet)—that's about 16
paces—of an operating
blower.
Do not direct the air blast
towards bystanders. The
high air flow could blow
small objects at great
speed causing possible
eye injury.
