OPERATION
OPERATING TIPS
• Ensure that the unit is not directed at anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure the tubes and guards are in place
and secure.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with the sound level (dB), hearing protection is
required.
• Operate power equipment 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 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 equipment.
• Dispose of debris appropriately.
