Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions with respect to dust ("particulate
matter"). When the inhalation of dust
cannot be substantially controlled, i.e.,
kept at or near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
Warning!
If the substance being blown is a com-
mercial substance, review, understand
and follow all warnings and instructions
contained on the label and in the mate-
rial safety data sheet for that substance
and/or consult the material manufac-
turer/supplier. The state of California
and some other authorities, for instance,
have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, etc.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal illness,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or oth-
erwise disturbing asbestos, immediately
contact EPA, your employer or a local
OSHA representative.
Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay,
granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks, including masonry and con-
crete products. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crys-
talline silica can cause serious or fatal
respiratory disease, including silicosis.
In addition, the state of California and
some other authorities have listed
respirable crystalline silica as a sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When
encountering such materials, always
follow the respiratory precautions men-
tioned above.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
Operating Instructions
Warning!
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the motor immediately, move retaining
latch to ƒ and remove the battery.
In order to reduce
the risk of personal
or even fatal injury
to bystanders from
blown objects
keep bystanders at
least 16 feet (5 m)
away when the
power tool is
running.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from such objects as vehicles or
windows.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Switch off the motor immediately if you
are approached.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
can injure eyes and can blow small
objects at great speed. Do not direct air-
blast towards pets.
When working in open ground and
gardens, watch out for small animals to
avoid harming them.
