mals, glass, and solid objects 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 equipment attached. When using your unit as a blower, always install blower tubes. When using the op- tional vacuum kit, always install vac- uum tubes and vacuum bag assem- bly. Make sure vacuum bag assem- bly is completely zipped.

Check air intake opening, blower tubes, and vacuum tubes frequently, always with engine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep vents

and discharge 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, fertilizers, or other substances which may contain toxic materials.

To avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

Use only for jobs explained in this manual.

MAINTAIN YOUR UNIT PROPERLY

Aid, WARNING: Disconnect spark plug before performing maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.

Have all maintenance other than the recommended procedures described in the operator's manual performed by a Sears Service Center.

Use only recommended Craftsman replacement parts; use of any other parts may void your warranty and cause damage to your unit.

Empty fuel tank before storing the unit. Use up fuel left in carburetor by start- ing engine and letting it run until it stops.

Do not use any accessory or attach- ment other than those recommended

by manufacturer for use with your unit.

Do not store the unit or fuel in a closed area where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an open flame from hot water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

Store in a dry area out of reach of children.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra- tions through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to cir- culation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in other- wise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or

joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An

antivibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely

their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: For users on U.S. Forest Land and in some states, includ-

ing California (Public Resources Codes 4442 and 4443), Idaho, Maine, Minne- sota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Wash- ington: Certain internal combustion en- gines operated on forest, brush, and/or grass covered land in the above areas are required to be equipped with a spark arresting screen, maintained in effective working order, or the engine must be constructed, equipped, and maintained for the prevention of fire. Check with your state or local authorities for regula- tions pertaining to these requirements. Failure to follow these requirements is a violation of the law. This unit is not facto-

ry equipped with a spark arresting screen; however, a spark arresting screen is available as an optional part. If a spark arresting screen is required in your area, contact Sears Service for the correct kit. The spark arresting screen, blower tubes, and nozzles must be as- sembled to unit to be in full compliance with regulations.
