OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 9.
Never run the unit without the blower tube installed or
the inlet cover secured. Use of an improperly assembled
unit could result in 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.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 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.
 Hold the blower with the handle in your right hand. (Proper
operating position is shown in figure 9.)
 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.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible speed to do the
job.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris. Debris
may be sucked into blower intake vent and thrown at the
operator or bystanders, causing possible serious injuries
or resulting in possible damage to the unit.
