Blower Safety Instructions
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this machine as well as the instruction man-
ual of the power unit before using. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury to the operator and/
or bystanders.
The term "blower" and "machine" in the warnings and
precautions refer to the combination of the attachment
and the power unit.
Preparation
1. Always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers while operating the blower.
2. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair
away from the air inlets.
3. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using the machine.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
4. Always wear a long-sleeve shirt and a cap
when using the blower.
5. To prevent dust irritation the wearing of a face
mask is recommended.
While operating the machine, always wear

non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
7. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the machine.
Do not use the machine while you are tired,
ill, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating the machine may result in serious personal
injury.
8. Wear ear protection, such as ear muffs.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
9. Use of gloves when working with the blower is
recommended. Wear sturdy shoes with non-
slip soles.
Operation
1. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and
pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystand-
ers, and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft) radius;
outside the 15 m (50 ft) zone, there is still a
risk of injury from thrown objects. Bystanders
should be encouraged to wear eye protection.
If you are approached, stop the machine.
