WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, never
operate the unit without the blower tubes securely attached.
WARNING:
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.
Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
HOLDING THE UNIT
•
Stand in the operating position (Fig. 10). Stand up straight. Do
not bend over.
•
Keep feet apart and firmly planted.
•
Hold the handle firmly with either hand (Fig. 10).
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Operate the unit only at reasonable hours, not early in the morning
or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
•
To reduce noise levels, operate the unit at the lowest speed
needed to do the job. Limit the number of pieces of power
equipment used at any one time.
•
Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before operation.
•
Use the cruise control to make continuous operation easier (Fig. 4).
•
Clean up after operation. Dispose of debris appropriately.
•
Conserve water by using the blower instead of a hose to
perform many outdoor cleaning actions.
•
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
•
Watch out for children, pets, open windows and freshly washed
cars. Blow debris safely away. Never direct the unit toward
anyone while the unit is in operation.
•
Sweep the unit from side to side with the blower tube several
inches above the ground. Slowly advance, keeping the
accumulated debris in front of the operator.
