OPERATION

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

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

��n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

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

��n 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.

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

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

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

n The wide sweeper nozzle allows for large areas to be covered during blowing operation.
