n Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
n Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
n In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
n 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.
n Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
n Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
n After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
n Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing opera-
tion. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during
the blowing operation.
n The high velocity nozzle is specifically designed for wet
sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris
while operating the blower.
