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.
