authorised service centre.
■ Have the product serviced by an authorised
service centre to replace damaged or
unreadable labels.
CLEARING A BLOCKAGE
■ To reduce the risk of injury associated with
contacting rotating parts, always stop the
engine, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop.
■ Remove the blower/vacuum tubes to
inspect for blockage. Clear the tubes if
required.
■ Remove the vacuum bag. Check that the
bag adaptor is free from obstruction.
■ Inspect the opening to the fan enclosure
and the tube to the vacuum bag for
evidence of a blockage. Keep fingers away
from the fan at all times.
■ Do not attempt to remove the fan. If it is
necessary to remove the fan, have the
product serviced by an authorised service
centre.
■ Reinstall the tubes and the vacuum bag
before starting the product.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■ Injury caused by vibration.
– Always use the right tool for the job. Use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
■ Hearing damage caused by exposure to
noise.
– Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
■ Injury from flying objects from the blow tube
airflow
– Wear eye protection at all times.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations
from handheld tools may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in
certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the
ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to
cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the product wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
