BLOWER / VACUUM SAFETY
• Do not insert anything into the air openings, blower tube or
nozzle. Do not operate the unit if any of the air openings or
tubes are blocked. Keep the air openings free from dust, lint,
hair and anything else that may reduce airflow.
Do not operate the unit without the blower tube, or vacuum
tubes and vacuum bag, securely attached. Make sure the
vacuum bag is completely zipped closed.
Do not use the unit to spray liquids, especially flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gasoline. Do not use the unit in
areas where such liquids are present.
Do not use the unit for spreading chemicals, fertilizer or any
other substance that may contain toxic materials.
Do not set the unit down on any surface while the unit is
running. Debris can be picked up by the air intake and thrown
out the discharge opening, resulting in damage to the unit or
property or causing serious injury to bystanders or the operator.
During operation, never point the unit in the direction of people,
animals, windows or automobiles. Always direct blowing debris
away from people, animals, windows or automobiles.
Use extra caution when blowing debris near solid objects, such
as trees, walls, fences, etc. When possible, blow away from
such objects, not toward them.
Take care when working near valuable plants. The force of the
blown air could damage tender plants.
The unit is designed to pick up dry materials, such as leaves,
grass, small twigs or bits of paper. To avoid serious injury to the
operator and severe damage to the unit, do not vacuum wet
debris or water. To avoid severe damage to the unit, do not
vacuum hard materials, such as metal, glass, etc.
Avoid situations that could cause the vacuum bag to catch fire.
Do not operate the unit near an open flame. Do not vacuum warm
ash from fire places, fire pits, etc. Do not vacuum discarded
cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.
Never attempt to clear a clogged air intake opening while the
unit is running.
Keep hair, fingers and all other body parts away from moving
parts and openings.
