DO NOT stand directly in front of and/or face the blower outlet. Personal injury may
result from debris being thrown from the blower fan at relatively high velocity.
DO NOT allow minors to operate the blower. Bystanders, children and animals should
not be allowed in the area where a blower is in use.
DO implement an operational safety program for this blower, to include but not limited
to: instructional requirements for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local laws
and regulations, job site safety and blower maintenance. Operators must be fully
instructed regarding the specifics of this safety program. (Ref. 29CFR 1926.21 (b)(2)).
DO ensure the blower is in its original, factory configuration and has not been modified.
Any modifications may result in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to
property damage and/or personal injury. As well as voiding the manufacturer’s warranty
DO ensure operator(s) are in adequate physical condition, mental health and not under
the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity
or judgment. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating the blower. Guard against the possibility of
back related injuries. Always use proper lifting techniques when moving or carrying
blower.
DO wear sturdy and snug fitting clothing. Never wear loose fitting clothing or anything
that could become caught on controls or moving parts. Wear long pants to protect your
legs. To improve your grip and protect your hands, wear heavy duty, non-slip gloves.
Wear steel-toed safety boots with non-slip soles. Sneakers or other similar type shoes
do not provide adequate protection.
DO wear an approved safety hard hat. Noise, generated by the blower, may damage
your hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers). Continuous and regular
operators should have their hearing checked regularly.
DO a visual inspection of the blower and check for damaged, worn, loose and/or broken
parts. Ensure all safety devices are operable and information decals are readable.
Ensure the blower and all related accessories are in good mechanical condition before
use.
DO ground the blower motor securely. Ensure the “grounding” wire and/or device is
properly grounding the motor. Failure to properly ground the motor may cause an
electrical shock and/or electrocution, resulting in personal injury or even death.
DO use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI is a safety device that
disconnects power from a circuit to a load when a potentially dangerous condition
occurs. The GFCI acts like a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker, sensing small
imbalances in the circuit caused by current leakage, and shutting off electricity within
25mS (milliseconds). Use of a portable GFCI gives on-the-job protection from electrical
