OPERATION
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Make sure the unit is not directed at anybody or any loose
debris before starting the unit.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s),
hearing protection 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 reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest
possible speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for
many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as
screens, patios, grills, porches and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows and freshly washed
cars; blow debris safely away.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of
debris appropriately.
• Use the nozzle for hard-to-reach places, such as corners in a
garage, or to control dust in a dust-laden environment (Fig. 7).
