IMPORTANT

EBZ5150/RH
U
S
• The blower is used for blowing away
leaves and other debris on the ground.
When operating the blower, the
operater must stand with both feet
firmly on the ground.
Do not operate the blower while
standing on a ladder or a stand.
• Under no circumstances may the
design of the machine be modified
without the permission of the
manufacturer. Always use genuine
accessories and parts. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories or
parts can result in serious personal
injury or the death of the operator or
others.
• When planning your work schedule,
allow plenty of time to rest. Limit the
amount of time over which the product
is to be used continuously to
somewhere around 30 ~ 40 minutes per
session. Also try to keep the total
amount of work performed in a single
day under 2 hours or less.
■ Basic safety rules
1. Never operate a blower when you are
fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the
influence of madication that may make you
drowsy, or if you are under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
2. Wear the following protective equipments
when operating the blower.
a: Approved ear protection to reduce the
risk of hearing loss.
b: Approved (ANSI Z87.1.) eye protection
and foot protection to reduce the risk of
injury associated with thrown objects.
c: Face filter mask in dusty conditions to
reduce the risk of injury associated with
the inhalation of dust.
d: Wear sturdy rubber-soled shoes or
shoes with some other form of anti-slip
protection to help protect you against
falling.
e: Wear thick anti-vibration gloves to
reduce the risk of whitefinger disease.
f: Do not wear loose clothing, scarves,
neck chains, unconfineed long hair, and
like to reduce the risk of injury
associated with objects being drawn into
air intake and rotating parts.
Personal protective equipment cannot
eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce
the degree of injury.
5. For safe operation
3. The ignition system of your unit produces
an electromagnetic field of a very low
intensity. This field may interfere with some
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, persons with pacemaker
should consult their physician and the
pacemaker munufacturer before operating
this tool.
4. Do not allow other persons to be near the
blower when starting. Keep bystanders
and animals out of the work area.
Children, pets and bystanders should be a
minimum of 50 feet (15 meters) away
when you operate the blower.
5. Avoid using the blower where stable
footing and balance are not assured.
6. All blower service, other than the items
listed in the Owner's Manual, should be
performed by competent service
personnel. (E.g., if improper service to the
blower fan and muffler could cause a
hazardous failure.)
7. Always shut off the engine before setting it
down.
8. Operate the blower only in well ventilated
areas. Never start or run the engine inside
a closed room or building and potentially
explosive atmosphere. Exhaust fumes
contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
9. 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.
10. Never to touch the muffler, spark plug,
other metallic parts of the engine or
engine cover while the engine is in
operation or immediately after shutting
down the engine. These metallic parts
and engine cover reach high
temperatures during operation and doing
so could result in serious burns.
11. To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments. Do not operate without net
in place. Always disconnect the spark
plug before performing maintenance or
accessing movable parts.
■ Before use
1. 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.

EBZ5150/RH
5. For safe operation
2. Before starting operation, always make
sure to check if any obstacles are left
inside the volute case and net. The
obstacles may cause damage on fan
and volute case and serious injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
■ Using the product
1. To reduce the risk of injury associated with
thrown objects.
a: Watch out for children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed cars, and
blow debris safely away.
b: Use the full blower nozzle extension so
the air stream can work close to the
ground.
c: Do not allow bystaders in work area.
d: Do not point the blower tube in the
direction of people or pets.
e: Always check to be sure that no debris
has been blown onto someone else's
property.
f: Pay attention to the direction of the
wind, do not work against the wind.
g: Never point a blower tube toward an
open flame to avoid the possibility of
igniting the unit, causing injury to
yourself or damage to surroundings.
2. To minimize blowing time.
a: Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris
before blowing.
b: In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
c: Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and
garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches and gardens.
3. If you detect abnormal vibration or noise
during operaion, promptly stop the blower
and check whether something has broken.
If a breakdown has occurred, do not
operate the blower until the problem is
fixed.
4. After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash
receptacles.
■ Transport
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank before
transporting or storing the blower.
2. Secure the unit carefully to prevent
movement when it is transported.
3. A unit that receives a strong shock during
transport and unloading may malfunction.
■ Fuel safety
1. Always use caution when handling fuel.
It is highly flammable. Wipe up all spills
and then move the blower at least 10 feet
(3 meters) from the fueling point before
starting the engine.
2. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame
(i.e. smoking, open flames, or work that
can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel
is mixed, poured, or stored.
3. Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the blower.
4. Do not refuel a hot engine.
5. Do not refuel a running engine.
6. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil
or fuel mixture.
7. Always store fuel in an approved container
designed for that purpose.
■ Storage
1. Always store the blower and fuel so that
there is no risk of leakages or fumes
coming into contact with sparks or naked
flames from electrical equipment, electric
moters, relays/switches, boilers and the
like.
2. For longer period of storage, the fuel tank
should be emptied.
3. When storing the blower, choose a space
indoors free from moisture and out of the
reach of children.
■ Avoid noise problem
Check and follow the local regulations as to
sound level and hours of operations
for blower.
1. 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
