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.

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 engine 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
engine 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 engine and
remove the spark plug boot before cleaning the debris.
