• Avoid using the blower where stable footing
and balance are not assured.
• Never to touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
• Never to touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These metallic
parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.
■ AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
Check and follow the local regulations
as to sound level and hours of
operations for blower.
• 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.
• To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• Operate power blowers at the lowest
possible throttle speed to do the job.
• Check your equipment before operation,
especially the muffler, air intakes and air
filters.
• Loosen compacted leaves, grass or debris
with a rake or broom beforehand, so that
the lowest possible throttle setting would
get the job done.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces or use mister attachment when
water is available.
■ AVOID CHANCES OF DAMAGE
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows
or freshly washed cars, and blow debris
safely away.
• Use the 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.
• Always check to be sure that no debris has
been blown onto someone else’s property.
