OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
sound level(s), the use of 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 time listed in local
ordinance. 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.
• 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 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 away.
• Use full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
• After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
