Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment. Cords should be suitable for
outdoor use and marked "Suitable For
Use With Outdoor Appliances – Store
Indoors."
Warning!
To reduce the likelihood of disconnec-
tion and the risk of electric shock,
always attach the extension cord to the
blower using the strain relief hook on the
handle as shown in the chapter entitled
"Connecting to Power Supply" in your
instruction manual.
Warning!
Avoid damage to the power supply cord
and extension cord. Keep cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never
carry blower by power cord or jerk
power cord to disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the
plug not the cord.
Transporting the Electric Blower
Always switch off the motor before
putting down blower. When transporting
your unit in a vehicle, properly secure it
to prevent turnover and damage to the
machine.
Preparation for the Use of the Electric
Blower
Always check your electric blower for
proper condition and operation before
starting, particularly the power supply
cord, plug and switch.

Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord, exten-
sion cords and plugs before and after
each use for signs of damage or aging.
Working Conditions
Warning!
Your blower is a one-person machine.
To reduce the risk of eye or other injury
from thrown objects, 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. Ensure that bystanders are at
least 50 feet (15m) away during use.
Switch off the motor immediately if you
are approached.
Warning!
Operate your machine outdoors under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
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!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and
occupational and trade associations
with respect to dust ("particulate mat-
ter"). When the inhalation of dust cannot
be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at
or near the ambient (background) level,
the operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
