Blower Safety Instructions
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this machine as well as the instruction man-
ual of the power unit before using.
Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury to the operator and/
or bystanders.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term “blower” and “machine” in the warnings and
precautions refer to the combination of the attachment
and the power unit.
Training
1.
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the correct use of the
blower.
2.
Never allow children, persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
blower. Local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.
3.
Never operate the blower while people, espe-
cially children, or pets are nearby.
4.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
Preparation
1.
Always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers while operating the blower.
2.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair
away from the air inlets.
3.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
4.
To prevent dust irritation the wearing of a face
mask is recommended.
5.
While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear.
Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
6.
Wear ear protection, such as ear muffs.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Operation
1.
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and
pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystand-
ers, and pets outside a 15 m radius; outside
the 15 m zone, there is still a risk of injury
from thrown objects. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are
approached, stop the machine.
