SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra- tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-

ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and

joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel dam-

age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of

strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek

medical attention. An antivibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on

a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condi-

tion of this tool. SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped

OPERATING TIPS

• While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away

from your body and clothes (see illustration above).

• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing

protection is required.

• To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-

fore installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

• 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. Usual recom-

mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.

-4-

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

• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job.

• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be- fore blowing.

• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when wa- ter is available.

• 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.

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

safely.

• 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 re-

ceptacles.

A hi, WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling. This engine is certified to operate on

unleaded gasoline. Gasolh_e must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle

air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand

synthetic oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1

gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the

contah_er. Always read and follow the safety rules under HANDLE FUEL WITH

CAUTION. IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to

separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuei system

before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
