OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 5.
� To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
� To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
� Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
� 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.
� Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
� After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be in the OFF position when not in
use or carrying at your side.
