OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 10.
WARNING:
Always hold the blower away from your body, keeping
clearance between your body and the product. Any
contact with the housing can result in burns and/or other
serious personal injury.
Hold the blower with the handle in your right hand. (Proper
operating position is shown in figure 10.)
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.
OPERATION
Fig. 10
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.
