OPERATING
TIPS
• While vacuuming
or blowing debris,
hold the unit with the muffler side fac-
ing away from your body and clothes
(see OPERATING POSITION below).
• To reduce the risk of hearing
loss
associated
with sound level(s), hear-
ing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments.
Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not
early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances.
Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment
used at
any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate pow-
er blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions,
slightly dampen
surfaces
or use a mister attachment
when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blow-
ers instead of hoses for many lawn
and garden applications,
including
areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches, and gardens.
