• Never use for spreading chemicals,

fertilizers, or any other substances
which may contain toxic materials.

VACUUM SAFETY

• Stop the motor and disconnect the

power source before opening the air
inlet door or attempting to insert or re­
move the vacuum tubes. The motor
must be stopped and the impeller
blades no longer turning to avoid seri­
ous injury from the rotating blades.

• Hard objects can be thrown through

the collection bag or the housing and

become dangerous missiles which
can cause serious injury to the opera­

tor or others.

• When using the vacuum attachment,

the unit is designed to pick up dry ma­
terial such as leaves, grass, small
twigs, and bits of paper. Do not vacu­

um stones, gravel, metal, broken
glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to

the impeller. To avoid the possibility of

electrical shock, do not attempt to vac­
uum water or other liquids.

• Never run the unit without the proper

equipment attached. When used as a

vacuum, always install vacuum tubes

and collection bag assembly. Make

sure the collection bag assembly is

completely zipped when unit is running

to avoid flying debris. Use only recom­

mended attachments.

• Avoid situations which could set the

collection bag on fire. Do not vacuum
discarded matches, cigars, cigarettes,
or ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits,

brush piles, etc. To avoid spreading

fire, do not use blower near leaf or

brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,

ashtrays, etc,

• Always use the collection bag shoul­

der strap when vacuuming to avoid

loss of control.

• Check air intake openings, elbow tube,

and vacuum tubes frequently, always

with the unit stopped and the power

source disconnected. Keep vents and

tubes free of debris which can accu­

mulate and restrict proper air flow. Do
not use with any opening blocked,
Keep free of dust, lint, hair and any­

thing that may reduce air flow.

CAUTION: To avoid causing damage to

the unit,

DO NOT

attempt to use the vari­

able speed control during vacuum use.
