Safety Precautions

some other form of anti-slip protection to
help protect you against falling.

•To reduce the risk of injury associated with
objects being drawn into rotating parts, do
not wear loose clothing, scarves, neck
chains, unconfined long hair, and the like.

■USE OF BLOWER

• Each time before starting the engine,
inspect the entire unit to see if every part is
in good order and is securely tightened in
place. If any damage is found in the fuel
line, the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring,
do not use the blower until it has been
repaired.

• Before starting operation, always make
sure to check if any obstacles are left
inside the volute case. The obstacles may
cause damage on fan and volute case and
serious injury.

Check to see if the shock-absorbing rubber
mount has become cracked or otherwise
damaged. Note that failing to replace this

rubber mount when it has become
cracked or damaged may cause the
engine to come loose from its frame
during use, thus resulting in possible
serious bodily injury.

•If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.

WARNING

IMPORTANT

❲4❳

sure that each person you authorize to
operate the blower understands all of the
safety rules in this manual.

muffler, and the ignition wiring.

•All engine service except for those
described in this manual should be
performed by competent service personnel.
Improper service to the blower fan and
muffler could cause a hazardous failure.

WARNING

Safety Precautions

■FUEL

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury:

•Handle fuel with care. It is highly
flammable.

•Do not smoke while handing fuel.

•Do not refuel a hot engine.

•Do not refuel a running engine.

• Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Always wipe unit

dry before using.

• Move at least 10 ft. (3 meters) away from

the fueling point before starting engine.

• Always store gasoline in a container

approved for flammable liquids.

• Make sure the unit is properly assembled

and in good operating condition.

■WORKING CONDITION

•Check the work area that the blower will be

used in and remove or cover all valuables
that may be damaged by the air blast or
thrown debris.

•To reduce the risk of injury associated with

exhaust fume inhalation, do not operate in
unventilated area. The exhaust gases
contain harmful carbon monoxide.

•Do not allow bystanders in work area.

• Do not point the blower nozzle in the

direction of people or pets.

WARNING

❲5❳

•Avoid using the blower where stable footing
and balance are not assured.

•Never to touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.

• Never to touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These metallic
parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.

■AVOID NOISE PROBLEM

Check and follow the local regulations
as to sound level and hours of
operations for blower.

•Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours-not early in the morning
or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.

•To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.

• Operate power blowers at the lowest
possible throttle speed to do the job.

• Check your equipment before operation,
especially the muffler, air intakes and air
filters.

• Loosen compacted leaves, grass or debris
with a rake or broom beforehand, so that
the lowest possible throttle setting would
get the job done.

•In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces or use mister attachment when
water is available.

■AVOID CHANCES OF DAMAGE

•Watch out for children, pets, open windows
or freshly washed cars, and blow debris
safely away.

•Use the full blower nozzle extension so the
air stream can work close to the ground.

• After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash
receptacles.

•Always check to be sure that no debris has
been blown onto someone else’s property.
