OPERATING TIPS
• Assure the unit is not directed at anybody or any loose debris
before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure the
tubes are in place and secure.
• Always hold the unit securely when operating.
• To
reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s),
hearing pr
otection is required.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours— not early in the
morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 am
to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment
used
at any one time.
• To r
educe noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest
possible 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 or use a mister
attachment when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of ho
ses for
many lawn and gar
den applications, including areas such as
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.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of
debris appropriately.
• Use the cruise control (Fi
g. 15) to keep the trigger depressed
while operating to make continuous operation easier
.
