WARNING
￭ To maintain a firm grip and properly control your blower:
– Keep the handle clean and dry at all times. Keep it
free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease and resin.

the handle cradled between your thumb and
forefinger (see illustration).

operator or bystanders from loss of control, keep proper
footing and balance at all times:

– Take special care in overgrown terrain and always
watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid stumbling.
– Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground.
– For better footing, always clear away fallen
branches, scrub, cuttings and other material, objects
or vegetation that can increase the danger of
slipping, tripping or falling.
￭ To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control:
– Never work on a ladder, on a roof, in a tree or while
standing on any other insecure support.
– Never operate the blower above shoulder height.
