2. Control blower speed with throttle trigger.
3. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.
4. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc.
from lawns and flowerbeds.
NOTE
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task.
Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower
noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris
on your property.
Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

WARNING
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all
openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete
stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Blower housing may contain shredder blades
and other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving.
Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

WARNING
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face fil-
ter mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not point the
blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Read the Safety Section carefully.
IMPORTANT
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower
pipe.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
IMPORTANT
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed opera-
tion may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause
rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting
in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up,
run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour,
and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approximately 40
hours of operation.
