SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The operation of any utility vac or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles, not glasses, complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could

seriously hurt you when they break.

To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area.

For dusty operations wear dust mask.
