3. SAFETY RULES
State and Local Requirements
The engine is NOT equipped with a Spark Arrester
System complying with the requirements of SAE
Recommended Practice J335 and California Codes
4442 and 4443. All national forest land and land
managed by the states of California, Maine,
Washington, Idaho, Minnesota, New Jersey and
Oregon require internal combustion engines to
be equipped with a spark arrester screen by
law. Other states and federal agencies are
enacting similar regulations.
Operating this engine in a state or locale where
such regulations apply, could result in a violation
of the law.
Note: When using a blower for logging
purposes, refer to Code of Federal
Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1928.
WARNING: The ignition system of your
unit produces an electromagnetic
field of a very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with
pacemaker should consult their physician
and the pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this tool.
WARNING: Muffler surfaces are very hot
during and after operation of the blower,
keep all body parts away from the muffler.
Serious burns may occur if contact is made
with the muffler.
WARNING: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands,
and wrists of people prone to circulation
disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged
use in cold weather has been linked to blood
vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If
symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss
of strength, change in skin color or texture, or
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or wrists,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek
medical attention.
WARNING: The engine exhaust from this
product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Operate
your blower outdoors only in a well ventilated
area.
Basic Safety Precautions
• Read this manual carefully until you
completely understand and can follow all
safety rules, precautions, and operating
instructions before attempting to use the
unit.
• Restrict the use of your blower to adult users
who understand and can follow safety rules,
precautions, and operating instructions
found in this manual. Minors should never be
allowed to use a blower.
• Do not handle or operate a blower when you
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have taken
alcohol, drugs, or medication. You must be in
good physical condition and mentally alert.
Blower work is strenuous. If you have any
condition that might be aggravated by
strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a blower. Be more cautious
before rest periods and towards the end of
your shift.
• Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 35 feet (10 meters) away from
the work area. Do not allow other people or
animals to be near the blower when starting
or operating the blower.
• While working with the blower, always use
safety protective approved clothing. The use
of protective clothing does not eliminate
injury risks, but reduces the injury effects in
case of accident. Consult your trusted
supplier to choose equipment in compliance
with legislation. The clothing must be proper
and not an obstacle.Wear adherent protective
clothing. Protective jackets and dungarees
are ideal. Do not wear clothes, scarves, ties
or bracelets that get stuck in wood or twigs.
Tie up and protect long hair (example with
foulards, cap, helmets, etc.). Wear safety
boots having skid-proof sole and anti-
piercing insert. Wear protective goggles or
face screens. Use protections against
noises: for example noise reduction ear
guards or earplugs. The use of protections
for the ear is very important, because the
perception of danger audio signals
(screaming, alarms, etc.) is limited. Always

remove your hearing protection as soon as
the engine stop. Wear gloves that permit
the maximum absorption of vibrations.
WARNING – Wear face mask when
operating the blower in dusty
environments.
• Only loan your blower to expert users who
are completely familiar with blower opera-
tion and correct use. Give other users the
manual with operating instructions, which
they have to read before using the blower.
• Check the blower each day to ensure that
each device, whether for safety or otherwise,
is functional.
• Never use a damaged, modified, or impro-
perly repaired or assembled blower. Do not
remove, damage or deactivate any of the
safety devices.
• Carefully plan your blowing operation in
advance. Do not start blowing until you have
a clear work area, secure footing.
• All blower service, other than the operations
shown in the present manual, have to be
performed by competent personnel.
• It is unadvisable to hitch tools or applications
to the P.t.o. that are not specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING - The blower may throw objects
at high velocity that can ricochet and hit the
operator. This may cause serious eye damage.
Always wear eye protection.
Fuel Handling
WARNING: Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Use extreme caution
when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not
smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel
or the blower.
·To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
· Mix and store fuel in a container approved for
gasoline.
· Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or
flames.
· Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to
cool before refueling.
· Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and
to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
· Tighten fuel cap securely after refueling. Unit
vibration can cause an improperly tightened
fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill
quantities of fuel.
· Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 feet
(3 m) away from refueling site before starting
engine.
· Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
· Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the blower.
· Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
· Never place the blower in a combustible area
such as dry leaves, straw, paper, etc.
· Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames
from water heaters, electric motors or switches,
furnaces, etc.
· Never take the cap off the tank when the
engine is running.
· Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
· Take care not to get fuel on your clothing.
Operation and Safety
WARNING: Use a firm grip with thumbs
and fingers encircling the blower handles.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blower when the engine is running.
• Always carry the blower with the engine
stopped. When transporting in a vehicle
properly secure your blower to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the
blower.
• Before you start the engine, make sure the
blower is not directed to people.
• Shut off the engine before setting down the
blower. Do not leave the engine running
unattended.
• Only use the blower in well-ventilated places,
do not operate the blower in explosive or
flammable atmospheres or in closed
environments.

damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not
completely and securely assembled.
WARNING: All blower service, other
than items in the Operator's Manual
maintenance instructions, have to be
performed by competent blower service
personnel. (If improper tools are used to
remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur which could
subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and
serious injury could result.)
WARNING:
Never modify your blower in any way.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
WARNING: Use only accessories and
replacement parts recommended.
• Never attempt to service the blower while
the engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Keep the blower in a dry place, off the ground
and the tanks empty.
• If your blower is no longer usable, dispose of
it properly without damaging the
environment by handing it in to your local
Dealer who will arrange for its correct
disposal.
• Replace immediately any safety device when
damaged or broken.
WARNING: The muffler and other parts
of the engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder,
spark plug) become hot during operation
and remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are hot.
