WARNING: 
                               To avoid serious personal injury, wear 
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this 
unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
WARNING: 
                               To prevent serious personal injury or 
damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube or the 
mulcher tubes and the bag are in place before operating 
the unit.

The bag is installed and zipped closed (when used 
as a mulcher).
Be sure the bag is zipped closed before operating 
the unit.
Assure the unit is not directed at anybody or any 
loose debris before starting the unit.
Verify that the unit is in good working condition. 
Make sure the tubes and guards are in place and 
secure.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operat-
ing.
Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear handle or 
grips.
To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with 
sound level(s), hearing protection is required.
Use the shoulder strap when using unit as a 
mulcher.
Operate power equipment only at reasonable 
hours—not early in the morning or late at night 
when people might be disturbed. Comply with times 
listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations 
are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of 
equipment used at any one time.
To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at 
the lowest possible speed to do the job.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before 
blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of 
hoses for many lawn and garden applications, 
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, 
grills, porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows or 
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. 
Dispose of debris appropriately.
NOTE: Please ensure that the Mulch/Vacuum 
Gate is completely closed and locked.
