WARNING:
Use hearing protection. Use hearing protection such as ear plugs
or ear mufflers to protect your hearing, particularly if the axial fan blower is
used for extensive periods or if the surrounding environment of operation exposes
the operator to loud noises. When wearing hearing protection, you will have impaired
ability to hear alarms, warnings and shouts from approaching people or approaching
vehicles. Be extra diligent and observant of hazards and bystanders when wearing
hearing protection devices. When someone approaches, turn the axial fan blower
OFF immediately.
WARNING:
The high velocity of the air flow coming through the nozzle will
throw objects and debris violently. These objects and debris will ricochet in all
directions. You or bystanders can be blinded or injured. Keep children, bystanders,
pets and other animals at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from the operating axial
fan blower. Turn the axial fan blower OFF immediately if approached, or if you are
approaching such bystanders. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection,
even if they are kept at a distance.
WARNING:
Thrown objects may also ricochet and strike the operator or bystander.
WARNING:
Utilize extra caution, when the axial fan blower is being used near,
or on paved or hard surfaces, as pieces of metal, concrete, brick, stones, gravel,
sand, glass, sticks and other objects can be thrown at high speed and force and such
objects can be thrown, skip along or ricochet long distances off of hard surfaces.
WARNING:
Do not use this axial fan blower for sweeping debris that may
contain hard objects, e.g. pebbles, stones, sticks, glass, metal, etc. As such
hard objects can be thrown with great force and cause injury to the operator or
bystanders, and / or damage property, e.g., screens, windows, building siding, glass
doors, or vehicles.
WARNING:
Avoid operating the axial fan blower near property that can be
easily damaged by thrown or ricocheting objects such as screens, windows,
building siding, glass doors and vehicles. Always wear breathing protection when
operating the tool. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear breathing protection
devices even if they are kept at a distance as hazardous dust can travel considerable
distances, especially if the dust is windblown.
WARNING:
Know what you are going to blow, before you use your axial fan blower.
WARNING:
Inspect the area to be cleared for hazards before each use. Remove
any foreign objects such as sticks, rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, tools, toys,
etc. which can be thrown by the axial fan blower.
