PLAN AHEAD
•Always wear eye protection when op- erating, servicing, or performing main- tenance on this attachment. Wearing eye protection will help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting into eyes and face which can result in blindness and/or serious
injury. Eye protection should be marked ANSI Z87.
•Always wear foot protection. Do not go barefoot or wear sandals.
•Always wear respirator or face mask
when working with unit in dusty envi- ronments.
•Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure or remove jewelry, loose clothing, or clothing with loosely hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc. They can be caught in moving parts.
•Do not operate unit when you are tired, ill, upset, or if you are under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medi- cation.
•Keep children, bystanders, and ani- mals away from work area a mini- mum of 30 feet (10 meters) when starting or operating unit. Do not point blower discharge opening in the direction of people or pets.
•Inspect area before use. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.
FUEL SAFETY (for gas powerheads)
•Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (including smoking, open flames, or work that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.
•Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area; store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; use an approved, marked con- tainer for all fuel purposes.
•Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the unit.
•Make sure the attachment is properly
assembled and in good operating condition.
•Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running.
•Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up fuel spills before starting engine.
•Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fuel and fueling site be- fore starting engine.
•Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable liquids.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric powerheads)
_WARNING:
Avoid a dangerous environment. To re- duce the risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc.
Do not expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the possibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands. Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the presence of flam- mable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing dam- age to unit. Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or water. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your authorized service dealer for repair. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use, be- fore servicing, and when changing ac- cessories and/or attachments. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
•Use only a voltage supply as shown on the nameplate of the powerbead.
•Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in unventilated areas or where
dust or explosive vapors can build up.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, the powerhead may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the oth- er); if so, it will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The ap- pliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the exten- sion cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it
