Be Aware of the Working Environment 
Avoid long-term operation in very 
hot or very cold weather. 
Make sure bystanders or 
observers outside the 15 m 
(50-foot) “danger zone” wear 
eye protection. 
Reduce the risk of bystanders 
being struck by flying debris. 
Make sure no one is within 15 
meters (50 feet)—that’s about 16 
paces—of an operating blower.
15 METERS
Never operate the blower if any 
component parts are damaged, 
loose, or missing!
Debris sometimes collects on the 
blower intake. Never clean out debris 
from the blower while the engine is 
running!

The Properly Equipped Operator
Wear a dust mask to 
reduce the risk of inhalation 
injuries.
Always wear eye protection such as a 
face shield or goggles while operating 
this unit. Never operate the blower 
when visibility is poor.
Wear hearing protection 
when operating this unit.
Wear close-fitting clothing to protect legs and 
arms. Gloves offer added protection and are 
strongly recommended. Do not wear clothing 
or jewelry that could get caught in  machinery 
or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above  
shoulder level. NEVER wear shorts! 
Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid 
boots or shoes): do not wear open-toed 
shoes or sandals. Never operate the unit 
while barefoot! 
Keep a proper footing and do 
not overreach. Maintain your 
balance at all times during 
operation. 
Always be aware of the strength and 
direction of the blower discharge 
stream. Never direct the blower 
discharge stream toward people or 
animals!
Be extremely careful of slippery 
terrain, especially during rainy 
weather. Never operate this 
blower on a roof, ledge or ladder.
Be constantly alert for 
objects and debris that 
could be thrown from the air 
blast and bounced from a 
hard surface.
Do not direct the air blast 
towards bystanders. The 
high air flow could blow 
small objects at great 
speed causing possible 
eye injury.
