SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GAS UNITS

• Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and approved

for the storage of such materials.

• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the

tank. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel when the

engine is hot. Always loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve

any pressure in the tank before fueling.

• Always mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area

where there are no sparks or flames. DO NOT smoke.

• Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.

• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Wipe up any

spilled fuel from the unit immediately, before starting the unit.

Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source and

site before starting the engine. DO NOT smoke.

• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building.

Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate this unit only in a well

ventilated outdoor area.

WARNING:Gasoline is highly flammable and

its vapors can explode if ignited. Take the following

precautions:

WHILE OPERATING

• Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet current ANSI / ISEA

Z87.1 standards and are marked as such. Wear ear/hearing

protection when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust

mask if the operation is dusty.

• Wear heavy long pants, boots, gloves and a long sleeve shirt. Do

not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals or go

barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level.

• Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever

pulling the starter rope. The operator and unit must be in a

stable position while starting. Refer to Starting and Stopping.

• Use the right tool. Only use this tool for its intended purpose.

• Always hold the unit with a firm grip when operating.

• Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Take

extra care when working on stairs, steep slopes or inclines. To

avoid serious injury, do not operate the unit while on a ladder or

a roof.

• Keep hands, face, and feet away from all moving parts. Do not

touch or try to stop moving parts.

• Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely

hot from operation, even after the unit is turned off.

• Do not operate the unit faster than the speed needed to do the

job. Do not run the unit at high speed when not in use.

• Do not force the unit. It will do a better, safer job when used at

the intended rate.

• Always stop the unit when operation is delayed or when walking

from one location to another.

• Before setting the unit down, always make sure the engine is off

and all moving parts have stopped.

• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop the

unit immediately and check for damage. Do not operate the unit

before repairing damage. Do not operate the unit with loose or

damaged parts.

• Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug for

maintenance or repair.

• Use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement

parts and accessories for this unit. These are available from your

authorized service dealer. Use of any other parts or accessories

could lead to serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit,

and void the warranty.

• Keep the unit clean. Carefully remove vegetation and other

debris that could block moving parts.

• To reduce fire hazard, replace a faulty muffler and spark arrestor.

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass, leaves, excessive

grease or carbon build up.

• If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the unit immediately.

Inspect the unit for the cause of the vibration. Vibration is

generally an indicator of trouble.

BLOWER SAFETY

• Do not insert anything into the air openings, blower tubes 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 securely attached.

• 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.

• 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.
