OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 5.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 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.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the bat-
tery pack from the product when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
