, WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
AWARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive
environments (such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust), or use to
pick up flammable or combustible liquids,
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
[] To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
tool has a polarized plug ( one blade is wider
than the other ) and will require the use of a
polarized extension cord. The plug will fit into
a polarized extension cord only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug
will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
[] Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
[] Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
[] Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
[] Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A,
W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
[] Never allow children to operate the
equipment. Never allow adults to operate the
equipment without proper instruction.
[] Wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well
as hearing protection when operating this
product.
[] Always use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.

of the machine or its motor.
[] Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
[] Do not operate the equipment while
barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar
lightweight footwear. Wear protective
footwear that will protect your feet and
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
[] Do not use on steps, a ladder, roof top,
tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing
on a solid surface enables better control of
the blower in unexpected situations.

level to prevent entanglement in any moving
parts.

overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of
balance.
