WARNING:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose
debris or gravel. Debris may be sucked into
blower intake vent resulting in possible damage
to the unit and could result in serious personal
injury.
2. To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the
center of a pile.
3. 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.
4. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
5. 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.
6. Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
7. Check your equipment before operation, especially the
mufer, air intakes, and air lters.
8. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
9. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when
water is available.

10. Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
11. Use the sweeper nozzle so the air stream can work close
to the ground.
12. After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
13. Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing op-
eration. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered
during the blowing operation.
