BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to
reduce the risk of injury associated with the
inhalation of dust.
■ Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty
conditions.
■ Do not use the product near open windows.

the air stream can work close to the ground
and perform effectively.
■ Do not point the blower nozzle in the
direction of people or pets.
■ Never place objects inside the blower
tubes.
■ Do not place product on top of or near
loose debris. Debris can be sucked into the

VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Never operate the vacuum with only the
upper vacuum tube fitted. Failure to follow
this warning increases the risk of personal
injury.
NOTE: Without the lower vacuum tube fitted,
it is much easier to reach up inside the tube
towards the fan blade.
■ Do not operate the vacuum without the
debris collector bag assembly installed.
Flying debris could cause serious injury.
Make sure that the debris collector bag is
in good condition and completely closed
before operating the product.
■ Move the vacuum from side to side along
the outer edge of the debris. To avoid
clogging, do not place the vacuum tube
directly into the debris pile.
■ Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of
the vacuum tube.
■ To avoid serious injury to the operator
or damage to the product, do not try to
vacuum up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or
similar objects.
■ Avoid situations that could cause fire in
the debris collector bag. Do not operate
the product near an open flame. Do not
vacuum up warm ash from fireplaces and
barbecue pits. Do not vacuum up discarded
cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are
completely cool.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any
moving part. Rotating fan blades can cause
severe injury. Stop the motor and ensure
that fan blades have stopped rotating
before opening the vacuum door, installing
or changing tubes, or opening or removing
debris bag.
■ When feeding material into the product,
make sure that the pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans, or other foreign objects are
not included.
■ Do not allow processed material to build
up in the discharge zone. This may prevent
proper discharge and can result in kickback
of material through the intake opening.
■ If the product becomes clogged, stop
the product and remove the battery pack
before cleaning the debris.
