WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions and the instructions for the power
head thoroughly before using the attachment.
Know the tool. Read and understand the operator’s
manual and observe the warnings and instruction labels
affixed to the tool.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Do not start or operate the engine of a gas power head
in a confined space, building, near open windows, or
in other unventilated space where dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless, and extremely dangerous gas, can cause
unconsciousness or death.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection
when operating this unit. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible
serious injuries.
Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear
loose fitting clothing, short pants, jewelry of any kind,
sandals, or go barefoot.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with objects be-
ing drawn into rotating parts, do not wear loose clothing,
scarves, neck chains, and the like.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in any moving parts.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Inspect unit before each use for loose fasteners and
damaged or missing parts. Correct before using the at-
tachment. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Use only recommended or equivalent manufacturer’s
replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not, under any circumstance, use any attachment or
accessory on this product, which was not provided with
the product, or identified as appropriate for use with this
product in the operator’s manual.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the attach-
ment in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.
Use the right attachment. Do not use attachment for any
job except that for which it is intended.
Do not touch areas around the muffler or cylinder of a gas
power head. These parts get hot from operation. Contact
with hot surfaces could result in possible serious personal
injury.
Always stop the engine or motor and remove the spark
plug wire or disconnect from the power supply before
making any adjustments or repairs.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot
surfaces.
Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator’s Manual.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower in unexpected situations.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
engine or motor and make certain all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent starting or disconnect
from the power supply.
We recommend taking your equipment to a qualified
service center for repair, as service performed by in-
experienced or unqualified persons may damage the
equipment, create unsafe conditions, injury to user and/
or void your warranty.
WHEN USING AN ELECTRIC POWER HEAD:
Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is nec-
essary when used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufac-
turer’s recommended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
