use. It is for occasional use for general 

applications, such as blowing leaves, 

lawn clippings, etc. It is not intended for

BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

■

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.

■

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.

VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS

 WARNING

Never operate the vacuum with only the 

upper vacuum tube fitted. Failure to follow 

this warning increases the risk of personal

NOTE: 

Without the lower vacuum tube fitted, 

it is much easier to reach up inside the tube.

■

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.

■

Hold the engine higher than the inlet end of 

the vacuum tube.

■

To avoid serious injury to the operator 

or damage to the product, do not try to 

vacuum up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or 

similar objects.

■

Avoid situations that could cause fire in 

the debris collector bag. Do not operate 

the product near an open flame. Do not 

vacuum up warm ash from fireplaces and 

barbecue pits. Do not vacuum up discarded 

cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are 

completely cool.
