OPERATING WITH THE BLOWER ADD-ONATTACHMENT
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
