• 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 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 safely away.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment.
Dispose of debris appropriately.
