Warning!
If the substance being blown is a com-
mercial substance, review, understand
and follow all warnings and instructions
contained in the material safety data
sheet for that substance and/or consult
the material manufacturer/supplier. The
state of California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause can-
cer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or oth-
erwise disturbing asbestos, immediately
contact EPA, your employer or a local
OSHA representative.
BGE 61, BGE 71
Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay,
granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks, including masonry and con-
crete products. Repeated and / or
substantial inhalation of airborne crys-
talline silica can cause serious or fatal
respiratory disease, including silicosis.
In addition, the state of California and
some other authorities have listed
respirable crystalline silica as a sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When
encountering such materials, always
follow the respiratory precautions men-
tioned above
Warning!
Always switch off the motor before
cleaning or servicing the unit or replac-
ing 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 wheel, never operate your
blower 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.

(special accessory for BGE 71)
The vacuum attachment for the BGE 71
is a special accessory and only available

For specific assembling instructions,
see the appropriate section of your

appliance in vacuum mode without the

When working with the vacuum
