on the handle as shown in the chapter

carry blower by power cord or jerk power
cord to disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug not the
cord.
Transporting the Electric Blower

putting down blower. When transporting
your unit in a vehicle, properly secure it

Working Conditions
WARNING
In order to reduce
the risk of personal
or even fatal injury
to bystanders from
blown objects
keep bystanders at
least 16 feet (5m)
away when the
power tool is
running.
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. Do not direct
airblast towards pets.
WARNING
Operate your machine outdoors under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your
control handle (and grip for vacuum
attachment) are in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
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
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 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.
