extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or
death.

a vehicle.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel

comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before
refueling.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals,
jewelry of any kind, or go barefoot.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep
fuel from escaping around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with objects being
drawn into rotating parts, do not wear loose clothing,
scarves, neck chains, etc.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 ft. away from
refueling site before starting engine.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circumstances.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in any rotating parts.

accessories. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.

under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

Operator’s Manual.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce the
risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower in unexpected situations.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away
from the plug to prevent starting.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot
surfaces.
Never operate the unit without a spark arrestor screen;
this screen is located inside the muffler.
Service on the blower must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
