■ In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
■ 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.
■ Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
■ Use the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream can work
close to the ground.
■ After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dis-
pose of debris properly.
