OPERATING WITH THE BLOWER ADD-ON ATTACHMENT
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets outside a 50 feet (15m) radius; there still may be a risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the unit immediately.
Assure the unit is not directed at people or loose debris before starting.
Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 15, 16, and 17 and sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury to yourself or others, or possible damage to property, never point the blower in the direction of people or pets, or in the direction of windows. Always direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc.

OPERATING TIPS WHEN USING THE BLOWER
•To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), the use of hearing protection is required.
•Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours – not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with time listed in local ordinance.
•To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
•To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job.
•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 away.
•After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
