Safety Precautions
•Keep operation area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may result from flying debris.
•Avoid using the blower where stable footing and balance are not assured.
•Never touch the spark plug or plug cord while the engine is in operation. Doing so may result in being subjected to an electrical shock.
•Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine while the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine. These metallic parts reach high temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns.
■AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
NOTE
Check and follow the local regulations as to sound level and hours of operations for blower.
•In general, operate blowers between 8a.m.and 5p.m.on week day and 9a.m.to 5p.m.weekends. Avoid using blower late at night and/or early in the morning.
•Loosen compacted leaves, grass or debris with a rake or broom beforehand, so that the lowest possible throttle setting would get the job done.
•In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
•Check if the air filter, air intakes and muffler are working in properly.
•Never use more than one unit of the blower at one time.
■AVOID CHANCES OF DAMAGE
•Avoid directing the blower nozzle toward persons, pets, cars, windows or anything that could be harmed by blowing debris or dust.
•Keep the nozzle at full extension when operating so as to make the air stream close to the ground.
•Collect any trash and leaves and put them into a proper container after the job is done.
•Always check to be sure that no debris has been blown onto someone else’s property.
