has stopped. The same applies when the
blower is running at idling speed. Be
aware of the danger of fire, especially
while operating the blower near flammable materials and/or where flammable
fumes are present.
S Be careful, particularly if left hand opera-
tion is applied. Avoid any direct body
contact with inlet cover area. Keep jewelry, loose clothing, or clothing with loosely
hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc., away
from inlet cover area.
