When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your
control handle (and grip for vacuum
attachment) are in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed. Do not direct air
blast towards pets.
!Warning!
Always shut off the engine before
cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts. Always disconnect the
spark plug before performing
maintenance or accessing movable
parts.
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running. In order to reduce
the risk of injury from contact with the
fan, never operate your unit without a
properly mounted intake screen and
blower tube. Never insert any foreign
object into the air intake or output
openings of the machine.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control,do not walk backward while
operating the machine.

For specific assembling instructions,
see the appropriate section of your
owner's manual.
When working with the vacuum attach-
ment (special accessory), always hold
the unit firmly with both hands.
Wear it with the carrying harness over
the shoulder (see illustration).
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of
personal injury from fire
and explosion, never
attempt to pick up hot or
burning substances (e.g.
smoldering ashes,
glowing cigarettes)
or combustible fluids (e.g.
gasoline, paint thinners).
