OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figures 11 - 12.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the blower tubes installed or
the vacuum door securely closed. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in
your right hand.
WARNING:
Keep away from all hot surfaces of the blower. Failure to
do so could result in possible 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.
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 ordi-
nances.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
