■ 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.
■ 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.
NOTE: Please ensure that the Mulch/Vacuum Gate is
completely closed and locked.
AIR VENTS
■ Never cover air vents. Keep them free from
obstructions and debris. They must always remain
clear for proper motor cooling.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear
loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves,
strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn
into the air vents. To make sure long hair does
not get drawn into the air vents, tie back long
hair.
OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to side with the
nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly
advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris
in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are better
suited to low speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing
is a better way to move heavier items like large debris or
gravel.
OPERATING AS A MULCHER
Hold the vac firmly, tilting the mulcher tubes (2-4 in. or 5-10
cm), and use a sweeping action to collect light debris. The
debris will flow into the bag. Items such as small leaves
and twigs will be mulched as they pass through the fan
housing. For longer bag life and increased performance,
empty the bag often.
CLEARING A BLOCKED TUBE / IMPELLER
