OPERATING TIPS

DTo reduce the risk of hearing loss associat- ed with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

DTo reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments.

Do not operate without guards in place. D Operate power equipment only at reason-

able hours--not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Com- ply with times listed in local ordinances. Usu- al recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

DTo reduce noise levels, limit the number of

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

D Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

D In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

D Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and gar-
