maneuver the vac, the pull handle above
the inlet should be used.

a dedicated blower for yard work, patio
cleanup and workshop applications to
blow sawdust and other debris.

gles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or
in Canada CSA Z94-3-M88)before

ing creates dust which might be
inhaled.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hear-
ing damage wear ear protectors
when using the vac/blower for
extended hours or when using it in a
noisy area.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them clear
of blowing debris.
