OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figures  - .
■WARNING:
Always hold the blower away from your body with the
handle in your right hand, keeping clearance between
your body and the product. Any contact with the housing
can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only
— not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local
ordinances.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
 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 full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
CAUTION:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris.
Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent resulting
in possible damage to the unit.
