VACUUM SAFETY

•Stop the motor and disconnect the power source before opening the air

inlet door or attempting to insert or re- move the vacuum tubes. The motor

must be stopped and the impeller blades no longer turning to avoid seri- ous injury from the rotating blades.

•Hard objects can be thrown through the collection bag or the housing and become dangerous missiles which can cause serious injury to the opera- tor or others.

•When using the vacuum attachment, the unit is designed to pick up dry ma- terial such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper. Do not vacu- um stones, gravel, metal, broken glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to the impeller. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not attempt to vac- uum water or other liquids.

•Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. When used as a vacuum, always install vacuum tubes and collection bag assembly. Make sure the collection bag assembly is completely zipped when unit is running

to avoid flying debris. Use only recom- mended attachments.

•Avoid situations which could set the

collection bag on fire. Do not vacuum discarded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. To avoid spreading fire, do not use blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

•Always use the collection bag shoul-

der strap when vacuuming to avoid loss of control.

•Check air intake openings, elbow tube, and vacuum tubes frequently, always with the unit stopped and the power

source disconnected. Keep vents and tubes free of debris which can accu-

mulate and restrict proper air flow. Do not use with any opening blocked,

Keep free of dust, lint, hair and any- thing that may reduce air flow.
