Using the Blower
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation. It is carried as a
backpack and operated with the right
hand on the control handle.
The powerful ground-level airstream can
be aimed highly accurately and
effectively.
The blower may be used only for the
operations described in your manual.
The blower can be used for clearing
leaves, grass, paper, dust and light snow
in yards, gardens, sports stadiums,
parks, driveways and parking lots. It is
also suitable for drying cars and clearing
forest paths.

Other applications are blowing out
pipes, drains, gutters and your carport.

Working techniques

To minimize blowing time, use rakes and
brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize airborne debris and pollution:
: In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
: Use the full blower nozzle extension
so the air stream can work close to
the ground.
: Do not direct debris at people,
children, pets, at open windows or
freshly-washed cars. Blow debris
safely away.
: After using blowers, CLEAN UP.
Dispose of debris in trash
receptacles. Do not blow debris
onto neighboring properties.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize noise:
: Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours - not early in the
morning, late at night or during the
noon-break when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual
recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 a.m. and 03:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. on workdays for professionals.
Special considerations should be
given to neighbors on weekends.
: Fewer engines mean less noise;
therefore use only one piece of
power equipment at a time, when
possible.
: 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.
Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for those lawn and
garden applications where a blower can
be properly used, such as cleaning
patios or porches.
