WORKING CONDITION
1. Refrain from operating the
blower if you are tired, ill, or upset, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
2. To reduce the risk of hearing
loss associated with sound
level(s), hearing protection is
required.
3. To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown objects,
always wear eye protection and
foot protection. Eye protection
should meet the requirements of
ANSI Z87.1.
4. To reduce the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of
dust, use a face filter mask in
dusty conditions.
5. Wear rubber-soled shoes or
shoes with some other form of
anti-slip protection to help protect you against falling.
6. 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.
7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the operator to vibrations
and cold may produce
whitefinger disease (Raynaud’ s
phenomenon), which symptoms
are tingling and burning sensa-
tions followed by loss of color
and numbness in the fingers. All
factors which contribute to
whitefinger disease are not
known, but cold weather , smoking diseases or physical conditions as well as long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as factors. In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger disease, the following precautions
are strongly recommended;
a) Keep your body warm. Never
use blower during rains.
b) Wear thick anti-vibration gloves.
c) Take more than 5 minutes of
break in warm place frequently.
d) Maintain a firm grip at all times,
but do not squeeze the handles
with constant, excessive pres-
sures.
e) If you feel discomfort, redness
and swelling of your fingers or
any other part of your body, see
a doctor before getting worse.
8. 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 pace-
maker manufacturer before op-
erating this tool.
WORKING CIRCUMSTANCE
1. To reduce the risk of injury associated with exhaust fume inhalation, do not operate in
unventilated area. The exhaust
gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
2. Avoid using the blower where
stable footing and balance are
not assured.
AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
NOTE
• Check and follow the local regulations as to sound level and
hours of operations for blower.
