5. For safe operation

WARNING

2.Before starting operation, always make sure to check if any obstacles are left inside the volute case and net. The obstacles may cause damage on fan and volute case and serious injury.

3.Check to see if the shock-absorbing rubber mount has become cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that failing to replace this rubber mount when it has become cracked or damaged may cause the engine to come loose from its frame during use, thus resulting in possible serious bodily injury. If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.

4.Check the work area that the blower will be used in and remove or cover all valuables that may be damaged by the air blast or thrown debris.

■Using the product

1.To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown objects.

a:Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

b:Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.

c:Do not allow bystaders in work area.

d:Do not point the blower tube in the direction of people or pets.

e:Always check to be sure that no debris has been blown onto someone else's property.

f:Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not work against the wind.

g:Never point a blower tube toward an open flame to avoid the possibility of igniting the unit, causing injury to yourself or damage to surroundings.

2.To minimize blowing time.

a:Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

b:In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.

c:Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and gardens.
