illnesses. This includes wood dust,
especially from hardwoods, but also
from some softwoods such as Western
Red Cedar. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, 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
recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust ("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) 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
commercial substance, review the
material safety data sheet for that
substance and / or consult the material
manufacturer / 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 Protection
Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or
8
otherwise disturbing asbestos,
immediately contact 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
concrete products. Repeated and / or
substantial inhalation of airborne
crystalline 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 substance known to cause cancer.
When encountering such materials,
always follow the respiratory
precautions mentioned above.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the
setting lever to † or STOP.
WARNING
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running power tool, never
work alone. Keep within calling distance
of others in case help is needed.
Stop the engine 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.
WARNING
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running.
Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake of the machine or into the
nozzle of the blower. It will damage the
fan wheel and may cause serious injury
to the operator or bystanders as a result
of the object or broken parts being
thrown out at high speed.
Do not place the blower on the ground
when operating at high speed, because
small objects such as sand, grass, dust,
etc. may be pulled into the air intake and
damage the fan wheel. It is best to turn
the machine off when putting it on the
ground.
WARNING
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
