BLOWER SAFETY

WARNING: Never put hands or other objects into blower housing to avoid serious injury from rotating impeller.

WARNING: Inspect area before starting unit. Remove all debris and hard ob- jects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

S Inspect unit before each use for worn, loose, missing or damaged parts. Do not use until unit is in proper working order.

SDo not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air in- take and thrown out through discharge open- ing, damaging unit, property, or causing seri-

ous injury to bystanders or operator.

SNever place objects inside the blower tubes or blower outlet. Always direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automo-

biles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to rico- chet which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.

SCheck air intake opening and blower tubes frequently, always with unit stopped and power source disconnected. Keep vents

and discharge tubes free of debris which can accumulate and restrict proper air flow.

cause damage to the unit.
