Protecting Yourself and Those around You

This blowing tool is capable of throwing debris and objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or
death.

• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the Blower and the activity

of blowing. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before blowing. Never allow bystanders, or pets in your work area when operating the Blower.

Stop the tool if anyone enters the area. Keep bystanders at least 20 feet away from the work area.

• Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to operate the Blower. Never allow children to

operate the tool.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

• If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please do not do it.

Dressing Appropriately

• Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when using your

NEUTON Battery-Powered Blower to protect your eyes from possible thrown objects.

• Use a face or dust mask when operating in dusty conditions. Some dust created by blowing contains chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Compounds in fertilizers,
insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides, also arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, wear approved safety equipment such as dust masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• We recommend the use of ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 DBA to protect your hearing.

• Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using the Blower. If you have safety shoes, wear them. Do not use the Blower while barefoot or

wearing sandals with exposed toes or heels.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the Blower’s moving parts.

• We recommend wearing long pants and rubber gloves while using this tool. Be sure the gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or

drawstrings.

Preparing to Use Your Blower

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the Blower and in the manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the control and the proper use of

the Blower before starting.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where you will be using the Blower, and remove all stones, lawn toys, wire, bones, sticks, pet supplies, and any

other foreign objects which could be thrown by the Blower.

Operating Your Blower Safely

• Do not use your NEUTON Battery-Powered Blower for any job other than the intended use. Never try to use an attachment not made

specifically for the Blower.
