or otherwise
cause injury or damage
during operation.
PLAN AHEAD
• Always wear eye protection when oper-
ating, servicing
or performing
mainte-
nance on unit. Wearing eye protection
will help to prevent rocks or debris from
being blown or ricocheting into eyes and
face which can result in blindness orse-
rious injury. Eye protection should meet
the requirements of ANS! Z87.1.

barefoot or wear short pants or sandals.

when working with the unit in dusty envi-
ronments.

cure or remove loose clothing or cloth-
ing with loosely hanging straps, ties,
tassels, etc.
They can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not operate unit when you are tired,
ill, upset, or if you are under the influ-
ence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Keep children, bystanders, and animals
away from work area a minimum of 30
feet (10 meters) when starting or operat-
ing unit. Do not point blower or gutter at-
tachment

OPERATE
YOUR UNIT SAFELY
• Inspect unit before each use for worn,
loose, missing or damaged
parts.
Do
not use until unit is in proper working or-
der.
• Do not set unit on any surface except a
clean, hard area while engine/motor
is
running.
Debris such as gravel, sand,
dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by
the air intake and thrown out through
discharge
opening,
damaging
unit,
property, or causing serious injury to by-
standers or operator.
• Do not overreach or use from unstable
surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep
slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing
and balance at all times.
• Never place objects inside the tubes; al-
ways direct blowing debris away from
people, animals, glass, and solid ob-
jects such as trees, automobiles, walls,
etc. The force of air can cause rocks,
dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet
which can hurt people or animals, break
glass, or cause other damage.
• Never run unit without the proper equip-
ment attached.
Always install all tubes
included in the gutter attachment
kit.
• Check air intake opening and tubes fre-
quently, always with the engine/motor
stopped and spark plug/power
supply
disconnected.
Keep tubes free of debris
which
can
accumulate
and
restrict
proper air flow.
• Never place any object in air intake
opening as this could restrict proper air
flow and cause damage to the unit.
• Never use for spreading chemicals, fer-
tilizers, or other substances
which may
contain toxic materials.
• To avoid spreading
fires, do not use
near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, bar-
becue pits, ashtrays, etc.
• Use only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Use only for jobs explained
in this
manual.
