Allow a minimum of 30 feet (9 meters) between operator and other people or animals. We recommend that a face mask be worn when operating blower in dusty areas. Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will easily allow you to control the direction of blown debris. Never blow debris in direction of bystanders. To control velocity of airstream, blower can be operated at any speed between idle and full throttle. Experience with the unit will help you determine the amount of airflow necessary for each application.

6.6 VACUUM OPERATIONS

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE VACUUM WITHOUT

VACUUM BAG PROPERLY ATTACHED, AS

FLYING DEBRIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO

OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS. ALWAYS MAKE

SURE VACUUM BAG ZIPPER IS CLOSED

BEFORE OPERATING UNIT. Do not vacuum hot or burning materials (e.g. hot ash, glowin gcigarettes) from outdoor fireplaces or barbecue pits. always wait for these materials to be cool enough. Do not vacuum lighted smoking material such as discarded cigars or cigarettes. Do not operate unit near open flame. CAUTION: This unit is designed to vacuum up debris such as leaves, small bits of paper, small twigs, weeds, grass clippings, etc. Do not use this unit for any other purpose. Do not attempt to vacuum rocks, broken glass, bottles, tin cans or other such objects. Damage to impeller and unit as well as operator injury could result. If vacuum tube is level with power unit horizontal, rocks or large objects may be drawn into tube, damaging the impeller. To Operate Vacuum:

1. Follow correct starting procedures as explained

2. Leave the motor running at idle speed. Attach

the shoulder strap so that it lies over the left shoulder. CAUTION: Do not allow shoulder harness to cover, block, or come in contact with exhaust outlet during operation. The muffler generates heat and could burn, melt, or damage harness strap.
