Recommended working technique to 
minimize noise:
– Operate your power tool at 
reasonable times only – not early in 
the morning, late at night or during 
midday rest periods when people 
could be disturbed. Observe local 
rest periods. Normal 
recommendation for professional 
use on weekdays: 9:00hrs to 
12:00hrs and 15:00hrs to 17:00hrs. 
Be considerate of neighbors at 
weekends.
– Fewer engines mean less noise. 
Where possible, do not run more 
than one power tool at any time.
– Operate blowers at the lowest 
engine speed necessary to 
accomplish the task.
– Check your blower before starting 
work. Pay special attention to the 
muffler, air intakes and air filter.
Operate and start your power tool only 
outdoors in a well ventilated area. 
Operate it under good visibility and 
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially 
organic dusts such as mold or pollen, 
can cause susceptible persons to have 
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. 
Substantial or repeated inhalation of 
dust and other airborne contaminants, in 
particular those with a smaller particle 
size, may cause respiratory or other 
illnesses. Control dust at the source 
where possible. Use good work 
practices, such as operating the unit so 
that the wind or operating process 
directs any dust raised by the power tool 
away from the operator. Follow the 
recommendations of 
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational 
and trade associations with respect to 
dust ("particulate matter"). When the 
inhalation of dust cannot be 
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or 
near the ambient (background) level, the 
operator and any bystanders should 
wear a respirator approved by 
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust 
encountered.
WARNING
If the substance being blown is a 
commercial substance, review, 
understand and follow all warnings and 
instructions contained in the material 
safety data sheet for that substance 
and/or consult the material 
manufacturer/supplier. The state of 
California and some other authorities, 
for instance, have published lists of 
substances known to cause cancer, 
reproductive toxicity, etc.
WARNING
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous 
and can cause severe or fatal injury, 
respiratory illness or cancer. The use 
and disposal of asbestos-containing 
products have been strictly regulated by 
OSHA and the Environmental Protection 
Agency. If you have any reason to 
believe that you might be blowing or 
otherwise disturbing asbestos, 
immediately contact your employer or a 
local OSHA representative.
WARNING
Dust with silica in its composition may 
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic 
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay, 
granite and numerous other minerals 
and rocks, including masonry and 
concrete products. Repeated and / or 
substantial inhalation of airborne
