THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a
blower when you are fatigued.
Be alert - if you get tired while operating
your machine, take a break. Tiredness
may result in loss of control. Working
with any blower can be strenuous. If you
have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating the
machine.
!
Warning!
Prolonged use of a blower, (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud`s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. These condi-
tions reduce the hand`s ability to feel
and regulate temperature, produce
numbness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis.

!
Warning!
The ignition system of your unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
persons with pacemaker should consult
their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
Proper Clothing
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting,
but allow complete freedom of move-
ment.
!
Warning!
Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
flared or cuffed pants,
scarfs, unconfined long
hair or anything that could
be drawn into the air
intake.
Wear overalls or long
pants to protect your legs.
Do not wear shorts.
Good footing is most
important. Wear sturdy
shoes with nonslip soles.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury associated
with the inhalation of dust, use a face
filter mask when using your blower in
dusty conditions.
!
Warning!
Proper eye protection is a must. Even
though the discharge is directed away
from the operator, ricochets and bounce
backs can occur during blower
operations.
Never operate a blower
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate
top and side protection
which comply with
ANSI Z 87.1 (or your applicable national
standard).
!
Warning!
Blower noise may damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to protect your hearing. Conti-
nual and regular users should have their
hearing checked regulary.
