OPERATING TIPS
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, wear eye and
hearing protection at all times when operating this unit. Wear a
dust mask in dusty locations.
• Never direct the unit at anyone while the unit is in operation.
• Always hold the unit securely when operating.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
• 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, operate power blowers at the lowest possible
speed to do the job and limit the total number of pieces of power
equipment used at any one time.
• Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes
and air filters.
• 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 cleaning debris from areas such as
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
• 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 closer to
the ground.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of debris
appropriately.
• Use the cruise control (Fig. 9) to keep the trigger depressed while
operating to make continuous operation easier.
APPLICATIONS
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury or damage to the
unit, make sure the blower tubes are in place before operating the unit.
1 Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-clean areas.
