IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
DANGER
The blower engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death.
If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
Operate the blower outdoors only in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT operate the blower inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through
windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot
see or smell.
DANGER
DO NOT allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.
WARNING
Maintain a firm grip on the handle with both hands while using
the blower.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING
Always wear sound protection (ear mufflers or ear plugs) to
protect your hearing. Long term blower noise exposure may
damage your hearing.
WARNING
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50’ (15m) away
when operating the blower.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and
windows are open.
ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
WARNING
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, jewelry of any
kind, or go barefoot.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury associated with objects being
drawn into rotating parts, do not wear loose clothing, scarves,
neck chains, and the like.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce the risk
of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
WARNING
Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such
as rocks (where possible), broken glass, nails, wire, or string
which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
WARNING
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching
can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot surfaces.
WARNING
The engine is equipped with a spark arrestor. Never operate
the unit without a spark arrestor screen.
WARNING
Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and
accessories.
WARNING
Spark from a removed spark plug wire can result in fire or
electrical shock.
When servicing the engine:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot
contact the plug or any other metal object.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
WARNING
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel leaks,
etc. Replace damaged parts.
WARNING
Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Stop the
engine and ensure impeller blades have stopped rotating
before installing/changing parts or diverters.
WARNING
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or
pets when in operation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to vibrations, also known as vibration
white finger, through use of gasoline-powered equipment,
such as this blower, could cause blood vessel or nerve damage
in fingers, hands, and joints. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this blower and seek medical attention.
Fuel Safety
– DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the blower at the gas
station. Always use an approved fuel container to transfer the
fuel to the gasoline tank.
– DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
– Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
– Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
When starting the blower:
– DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine.
– Always make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark
plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly secured,
connected and in place.
– Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before
attempting to start the engine.
– Make certain that the blower is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the blower:
– DO NOT move or tip the blower during operation.
– DO NOT tip the blower or allow fuel or oil to spill.
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but its vapors can ignite.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is
not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
When storing the blower:
– Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and
other sources of ignition.
– Do not store the blower or gasoline near furnaces, water
heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
WARNING
NEVER use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other
fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
When adding or removing gasoline:
– DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
– Always turn the blower off and let cool for minimum of two
minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Afterwards, loosen
gasoline cap to relieve pressure from the gasoline tank.
– Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
