Safety while operating the blower

5.Never operate the blower if any of the guards is missing.

6.Never operate the blower in poorly ventilated spaces where exhause fumes might otherwise be inhaled.

7.Stop the engine before refueling.

9.Be careful, particurlarly if left hand operation is applied. Avoid any direct body contact with the exhaust outlet area.

10.Do not operate the blower while standing on a ladder or a stand.

2.Operate the blower at the lowest possible throttle setting to do the job.

3.Check the condition of the blower before opera- tion, especially the muffler, air intake and air filter.

4.Use a rake or a broom to loosen ground debris before blowing.

5.Under dusty conditions, slightly spray the work area with a hose or use a mister attachment when water is available.

6.Conserve water by using blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as roof gutters, screens, patios and gardens etc.

7.Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

8.Use the full nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
