Have the unit repaired by your authorized  
service dealer.  
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not  
use in unventilated areas or where explo-  
sive vapors or carbon monoxide build--up  
could be present.  
S Do not set unit on any surface except a  
clean, hard area while engine is running.  
Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass,  
etc. could be picked up by the air intake and  
thrown out through discharge opening,  
damaging unit, property, or causing serious  
injury to bystanders or operator.  
S Do not overreach or use from unstable sur-  
faces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes,  
rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing and balance  
at all times.  
S Never place objects inside the discharge  
opening; always direct the blowing debris  
away from people, animals, glass, and solid  
objects such as trees, automobiles, walls,  
etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or  
sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can  
hurt people or animals, break glass, or  
cause other damage.  
D Keep the extension cord clear of operator and  
obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to  
heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.  
D Avoid any body contact with any grounded  
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to  
avoid the possibility of electric shock. Don’t  
handle plug or unit with wet hands.  
D Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If  
powerhead is not working as it should, has  
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or  
dropped into water, return it to your autho-  
rized service dealer for repair.  
D Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
protection should be provided on the circuit  
or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Re-  
ceptacles are available having built-in  
GFCI protection and may be used for this  
measure of safety.  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
CONSTRUCTION  
Your powerhead should be double insulated  
to help protect against electric shock. Double  
insulation construction consists of two sepa-  
rate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of  
grounding. Tools and appliances built with a  
double insulation system are not intended to  
be grounded.Safety precautions must be ob-  
served when operating any electrical tool.  
The double insulation system only provides  
added protection against injury resulting from  
an internal electrical insulation failure.  
S Check air intake opening frequentl.yKeep  
vents and discharge opening free of debris  
which can accumulate and restrict proper  
air flow.  
S Never place any object in air intake opening  
as this could restrict proper air flow and cause  
damage to the unit.  
S Never use for spreading chemicals, fertiliz-  
ers, or other substances which may contain  
toxic materials.  
S To avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf  
or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,  
ashtrays, etc.  
WARNING: All repairs to an electric  
powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,  
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qual-  
ified service personnel. Replacement parts  
for a double insulated appliance must be iden-

D Have all maintenance other than the rec-  
ommended procedures described in the in-  
struction manual performed by your autho-  
rized service dealer.  
D Always see your authorized service dealer to  
replace a damaged impeller. Parts that are  
chipped, cracked, broken, or damaged in  
any other way can fly apart and cause seri-  
ous injury. Have damaged parts replaced  
before using attachment.

dealer can cause the double insulation con-  
struction to become ineffective and result in  
serious injury.  
BLOWER SAFETY  
WARNING: Never put hands or other  
objects into blower housing to avoid serious  
injury from the rotating impeller.  
WARNING: Inspect the area before  
using the unit. Remove all debris and hard  
objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that  
can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause  
injury or damage during operation.  
S Inspect attachment before each use for  
worn, loose, missing, or damaged parts. Do  
not use until unit is in proper working order.
