balance at all times.
DNever place objects inside the blower tubes;
always direct the blowing debris away from

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of peo-
ple prone to circulation disorders or abnormal
swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in other-
wise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin
color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers,
hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool
and seek medical attention. An antivibration
system does not guarantee the avoidance of
these problems. Users who operate power tools
on a continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condition
of this tool.
