such as stones or metal objects.
•
Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and
children and animals prevented from coming nearer
than 15 m (50 ft.) while the blower is in use.

WARNING
DANGER
Do not operate this product indoors or in inad-
equately ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains
poisonous emissions and can cause serious injury or
death.
Keep A Firm Grip
•
Hold handles with fingers together encircling handles.
Keep A Solid Stance
•
Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not
stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do
not work in odd positions or on ladders.
•
Do not perform Maintenance or Assembly procedures
with engine running.
Noise Control
•
Follow local noise regulations on sound levels and
hours of operations. Use only during appropriate
hours.
•
Never use a higher speed setting then necessary to
perform a task. The higher the engine speed the louder
the blower noise.
•
Be a good neighbor.
Avoid Hot Surfaces
•
During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and
surrounding cover may become extremely hot. Avoid
contact during and immediately after operation.
Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris.
