Warning!
Never operate your machine if it is dam-
aged or not completely and securely
assembled.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not oper-
ate your blower unless it has a properly
mounted blower tube.
Warning!
Small particles (e.g. dust) blown through
the blower tube and nozzle can cause a
static charging of the blower tube. This
is especially true in low humidity and
high dust conditions. In order to reduce
the risk of shock from static charging
and subsequent injury from loss of con-
trol, your blower has features designed
to help reduce the build up of static elec-
tricity in the blower tube and equalize
the charge with the engine and/or
operator.
THE USE OF THE ELECTRIC
BLOWER
Electrical Precautions
See also the electrical safety
precautions listed under "Important
safety precautions" at the beginning of
this manual.
BGE 61, BGE 71
Warning!
Special precautions for electric blowers
must be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury and property damage
from fire and electric shock.
Warning!
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Only authorized per-
sonnel should repair or replace
damaged cords. Never attempt unau-
thorized repairs or open the powerhead.
Warning!
The voltage of the power supply must
agree with the voltage specified on the
blower's machine label. Improper volt-
age will damage the blower and may
cause personal injury.
Warning!
Be sure switch is off when plugging the
unit into the power supply in order to
reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock
from arcing and the risk of injury from
unintended blowing.
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk
of serious injury from
electrocution, never use
your blower if the power
supply cord or plug is cut,
cracked, worn or
damaged.
Have a dealer replace such a power
supply cord.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, do not use the
blower in damp or wet
locations. Do not use on
wet surfaces. Do not
expose to or use in rain.
Do not handle the plug or the unit with
wet hands.
Warning!
When using the electric blower, always
keep the power supply cord behind you.
Always ensure that your power supply
cord does not become entangled with
obstacles or objects. Damaged cables
may cause electrocution. Always dis-
connect the plug from the power supply
when you take a break.
Cord Sets
Warning!
To reduce the risk of electric shock use
only extension cords that are intended
for outdoor use. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension
cord before using and replace if dam-
aged. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your blower will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table in
chapter "Important Safety Precautions"
shows the correct gauge extension cord
to use depending on cord length for 120
Volt power tools using 6 -10 amps.
