Because of flying debris,
always wear a safety face shield or safety glasses
marked Z87 when operating blower.

Before using your blower,
review Safety Precautions in your User Manual,
and all regulations for operation of the unit. These
precautions and regulations are for your
protection.
AWARNING
DO NOT operate the
blower with other people or animals in the
immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of 30 feet
(10 meters) between operator and other people or
animals.
1. Use the bfower for trees, shrubs, flower beds,
and hard-to-clean areas.
2. Use the unit around buildings and for other
normal cleaning procedures.
3. Use the blower around walls, overhangs,
fences, and screens.
4. We recommend that a face mask be worn
when operating bfower in dusty areas.
5. Stand away from the debris, at a distance that
will easily allow you to control the direction of
blown debris. Never blow debris in direction of
bystanders.
6. To control velocity of airstream, blower can be
operated at any speed between idle and full
throttle. Experience with the unit will help you
determine the amount of airflow necessary for
each application.
7. Operate power equipment 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.
8. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
9. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
10. Check your equipment before operation,
especially the muffler, air intakes and air
filters.
11. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces when water is available.
12. 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.
13. Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely
away.
14. Use intermediate tube plus nozzle of your
choice so the airstream can work close to the
ground.
