OPERATION

■Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

■Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.

■Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

■In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.

■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.

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

■After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

■Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during the blowing operation. See Figure 10.
