n Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
�n Check the equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
�n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
�n In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
�n 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.
�n Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
�n Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
�n After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
�n Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing
operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered
during the blowing operation.
