pletely understand and can follow all
warnings and safety rules in the manual
for the original tool and in this manual
before operating the tool with gutter at-
tachment installed.

and in this manual.
_, WARNING: Inspect area before

hard objects such as rocks, glass,
wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown,
or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation.
PLAN AHEAD
• Always wear eye protection when oper-
ating, servicing or performing mainte-
nance on unit. Wearing eye protection

being blown or ricocheting into eyes and
face which can result in blindness orse-
rious injury. Eye protection should meet
the requirements of ANS! Z87.1.
• Always wear foot protection. Do not go
barefoot or wear short pants or sandals.
• Always wear a respirator or face mask
when working with the unit industy envi-
ronments.
• Secure hair above shoulder length. Se-
cure or remove loose clothing or cloth-
ing with loosely hanging straps, ties,
tassels, etc. They can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not operate unit when you are tired,
ill, upset, or if you are under the influ-
ence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Keep children, bystanders, and animals
away from work area a minimum of 30
feet (10 meters) when starting or operat-
ing unit. Do not point blower or gutter at-
tachment nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
OPERATE YOUR UNIT SAFELY
• Inspect unit before each use for worn,
loose, missing or damaged parts. Do
not use until unit is in proper working or-
der.
• Do 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.
• Do not overreach or use from unstable
surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep
slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing
and balance at all times.
• Never 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.
• Never run unit without the proper equip-
ment attached. Always install all tubes
included in the gutter attachment kit.
• Check 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.
• Never place any object in air intake
opening as this could restrict proper air
flow and cause damage to the unit.
• Never use for spreading chemicals, fer-
tilizers, or other substances which may
contain toxic materials.
• To avoid spreading fires, do not use
near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, bar-
becue pits, ashtrays, etc.
• Use only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Use only for jobs explained in this
manual.
