OPERATE YOUR UNIT SAFELY

D Inspect unit before each use for worn, loose, missing or damaged parts. Do not use until unit is in proper working or- der.

DDo not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine/motor is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge opening, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to by-

standers or operator.

DDo not overreach or use from unstable surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing

and balance at all times.

DNever place objects inside the tubes; al- ways direct blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid ob- jects 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.

DNever run unit without the proper equip- ment attached. Always install all tubes

included in the gutter attachment kit.

DCheck air intake opening and tubes fre- quently, always with the engine/motor stopped and spark plug/power supply disconnected. Keep tubes free of debris

which can accumulate and restrict proper air flow.

D Never place any object in air intake opening as this could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the unit.

DNever use for spreading chemicals, fer- tilizers, or other substances which may contain toxic materials.

D To avoid spreading fires, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, bar- becue pits, ashtrays, etc.
