OPERATION
nConserve 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.
nWatch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
nUse the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream can work close to the ground.
nAfter using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.
MAINTENANCE
