Do not operate near an open flame. Do not vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.

Q Q Q Q Q Q FUELING Fuel is highly flammable. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.

Q Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from spark and/or flame-producing equipment. Q Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Q Only refuel outdoors and do not smoke while refueling. Q Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Q Do not smoke while handling fuel. Q Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol. Q Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames. Q Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap. Q Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling. Q Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 9m away from refueling site before starting engine. Q Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances. Q To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable. Q If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. Q Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

Q Q Q Q Empty fuel tank into a container approved for petrol and restrain the unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

When draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container in a well-ventilated area. Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before refueling. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also. This product is very noisy when operating, to prevent long term hearing damage, wear hearing protection and keep other persons 15m away from the work area. Operating similar tools nearby increases risk of injury. Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the work area. It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operatorto possibly reduce the effects of vibration: a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome. b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day. If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms. To reduce the hazard from dust inhalation, slightly dampen the work area before blowing or vacuuming. Use a garden rake or a broom to loosen heavy deposits or fallen leaves or other waste before using the blower. When there is a risk of falling objects, wear head protection.
