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-

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

objects into blower housing to avoid serious
injury from the rotating impeller.

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.
