SPECIAL NOTICE:

Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. 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 joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An antivibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

This unit is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All

U.S. forest land and the states of California,

Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combustion engines be equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you operate in a locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the

MAINTENANCE section for information on maintenance of the muffler and spark arresting screen.

OPERATING TIPS

S

While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see illustration above).

S To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

S To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

S

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 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

Monday though Saturday.

S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

S

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

S

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.

S

Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.

S

Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.

S

After using blowers and other equipment,

CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

FUELING

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2--cycle air--cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1.

Poulan/Weed Eater brand oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the container.

Always read and follow the safety rules under

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
