ON/STOP SWITCH

The ON/STOP SWITCH is used to stop the en- gine. To stop the engine, move the switch to the STOP position.

PRIMER BUTTON

The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi- nal position.

CHOKE LEVER

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the CLOSE position. Once engine starts, move choke lever to the OPEN position.

THROTTLE ADJUSTER

The THROTTLE ADJUSTER can be used to select the speed of air flow. To avoid holding your finger on the throttle trigger all the time, the required speed can be set with the throttle adjuster. Full throttle is obtained by squeez- ing the throttle trigger and moving the throttle adjuster clockwise until it stops.

OPERATING POSITION

Eye Protection

OPERATING TIPS

S To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

STo reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be- fore installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

SOperate 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 recom- mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.

STo reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time. S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job.

SUse rakes and brooms to loosen debris be- fore blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when wa- ter is available.

S 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.

SWatch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.
