Use personal protective equipment
. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a blower.
Do not use a blower while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A moment of inattention
while operating blowers may result in serious personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the blower in unexpected situations.
Dress properly, say no to loose clothing or jewellery
. Keep your
hair, clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Have your blower serviced by a qualified repair-person
using
only identical replacement parts
.
This will ensure that the safety
of the blower is maintained.
When servicing a blower, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of shock or injury.
