SPECIAL NOTICE: For users on U.S. For-

fornia(Public Resources Codes 4442 and

Oregon, and Washington: Certain internal
combustion engines operated on forest,
brush, and/or grass covered land in the above
areas are required to be equipped with a
spark arrestor, maintained in effective work-
ing order, or the engine must be constructed,
equipped, and maintained for the prevention
of fire. Check with your state or local authori-
ties for regulations pertaining to these re-
quirements. Failure to follow these require-
ments is a violation of the law. This unit is not
factory equipped with a spark arrestor; how-
ever, a spark arrestor is available as an op-
tional part. If a spark arrestor is required in
your area, contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for the correct kit. The spark arrestor,
blower tubes, and nozzles must be as-
sembled to unit to be in full compliance with
regulations.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-
ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and
joints of people prone to circulation disorders
or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel dam-
age in otherwise 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 anti- vibration 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 condi-
tion of this tool.

OPERATING TIPS
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours--not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces when water is available.
S Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
S Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the
air stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-
ceptacles.
