D Always wear eye protection when operat-  
ing, servicing, or performing maintenance  
on this attachment. Wearing eye protection  
will help to prevent rocks or debris from be-  
ing blown or ricocheting into eyes and face  
which can result in blindness and/or seri-  
ous injury. Eye protection should be  
marked Z87.  
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped  
into water, return it to your authorized service  
dealer for repair. Unplug the unit from the power  
source when not in use, before servicing, and  
when changing accessories and/or attach-  
ments. Do not put any object into openings. Do  
not use with any opening blocked; keep free of  
dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air  
flow.  
D Always wear foot protection. Do not go  
barefoot or wear sandals.  
S Use only a voltage supply as shown on the  
nameplate of the powerhead.  
D Always wear respirator or face mask when  
working with unit in dusty environments.  
D Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure  
or remove jewelry, loose clothing, or cloth-  
ing with loosely hanging straps, ties, tas-  
sels, etc. They can be caught in moving  
parts.  
D Do not operate unit when you are tired, ill,  
upset, or if you are under the influence of al-  
cohol, drugs, or medication.  
D Keep children, bystanders, and animals  
away from work area a minimum of 30 feet  
(10 meters) when starting or operating unit.  
Do not point blower discharge opening in  
the direction of people or pets.  
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use  
in unventilated areas or where dust or explo-  
sive vapors can build up.  
S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the  
powerhead may have a polarized plug (one  
blade is wider than the other); if so, it will re-  
quire the use of a polarized extension cord.  
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized  
extension cord only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully into the extension cord, re-  
verse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,  
obtain a correct polarized extension cord.  
A polarized extension cord will require the  
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will  
fit into the polarized wall outlet only one  
way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician to install the  
proper walloutlet. Do not change the equip-  
ment plug, extension cord receptacle, or  
extension cord plug in any way.  
FUEL SAFETY (for gas powerheads)  
D Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (in-  
cluding smoking, open flames, or work that  
cancausesparks) in the areas where fuel is  
mixed, poured, or stored.  
D Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area; store  
fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; use  
an approved, marked container for all fuel  
purposes.  
D Do not smoke while handling fuel or while  
operating the unit.  
D Make sure the attachment is properly as-  
sembled and in good operating condition.  
D Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running.  
D Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up fuel spills  
before starting engine.  
D Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from  
fuel and fueling site before starting engine.  
D Always store gasoline in a container ap-  
proved for flammable liquids.  
S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-  
tension cords specifically marked as suit-  
able for outdoor appliances having electri-  
cal rating not less than the rating of unit.  
Cord must be marked with suffix “W--A” (in  
Canada “W”). Make sure your extension  
cord is in good condition. Inspect extension  
cord before useand replaceif damaged. Do  
not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation  
must be intact with no cracks or deteriora-  
tion. Plug connectors must beundamaged.  
The extension cord used to reach the pow-  
er source must be heavy enough to carry  
current from the power source the full length  
of the extension cord to the unit. An under-  
sized extension cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power and  
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavi-  
er gauge. The lower the gauge number, the  
heavier the cord.  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator and  
obstacles at all times.  
S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-  
cessed plug as shown in this manual to pre-  
vent damage to unit and/or extension cord  
and to reduce the possibility of the exten-  
sion corddisconnecting fromthe unit during  
operation.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric  
powerheads)  
WARNING:  
Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce the  
risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain, in  
damp or wet locations, or around swimming

shock. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not han-  
dle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands.  
Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the  
presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid  
creating a fire or explosion and/or causing dam-  
age to unit. Do not abuse cord. Never carry the  
unit by the extension cord or yank extension  
cord to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the  
plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a handle,  
close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp  
edges or corners. Turn off all controls before un-  
plugging. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or  
water. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If

S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.  
D Avoid any body contact with any grounded  
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to  
avoid the possibility of electric shock.  
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.

ommended procedures described in the in-  
struction manual performed by your autho-  
rized service dealer.  
D Always see your authorized service dealer to

objects into blower housing to avoid serious  
injury from the rotating impeller.  
WARNING: Inspect the area before  
using the unit. Remove all debris and hard ob-  
jects 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.  
S Keep outside surfaces free from oil and  
fuel.  
S Never start or run engine inside a closed  
room, building or other unventilated area.

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 firmfooting andbalance  
at all times.  
S Never place objects inside the discharge  
opening; always direct the blowing debris  
away frompeople, animals, glass, andsolid  
objects such as trees, automobiles, walls,  
etc. The forceof aircan causerocks, dirt, or  
sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can  
hurt people or animals, break glass, or  
cause other damage.

SPECIAL 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 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 condition  
of this tool.  
S Check air intake opening frequently. Keep  
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 Sweeping debris or grass clippings from  
driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.  
S Blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into  
piles, or removing debris from corners,  
around joints, or between bricks.  
Control air flow by directing the blower dis-  
charge opening down or to one side. Always  
work away from solid objects such as walks,  
large stones, vehicles, and fences.  
Clean corners by starting in corners and moving  
outward. This will help prevent an accumulation
