Working Conditions
WARNING
Operate your machine outdoors under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
The power tool may be used in rain and
wetness. Dry the power tool after
finishing work.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
WARNING
Static electricity may build-up while
blow-sweeping large quantities of very
dusty material and suddenly discharge
in certain unfavorable conditions (e.g.
very dry work area.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. 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
8
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,
understand and follow all warnings and
instructions contained on the label and
in 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
otherwise 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
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
