alcohol, or medication . A moment of inattention while operating blowers may result in serious
personal injury.

clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
