OPERATION

 Attach the outlet end of an extension cord to the plug on
the rear of the blower.
NOTE: Use only an approved outdoor extension cord as
described previously in this manual.
 Form a loop with the extension cord.
 Insert the loop portion of the extension cord up through
the opening on the rear of the blower housing and place
over the cord retainer.
 Slowly pull loop against cord retainer until the slack is
removed.
 To start the blower, place the power switch in either the
LOW or HIGH position.
 To stop the blower, place the power switch in the OFF
position.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 5.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces 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.
 Hold the blower with the handle in your right hand. (Proper
operating position is shown in figure 5.)
 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
ordinances.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
