body.

and take all safety precautions, 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 opening.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. Control blower speed with Throttle Trigger (B), or for continu-
ous use, set engine speed with Combination Throttle Position /
Stop Switch Button (A).
4. Use lower speed to blow dry leaves from walks, patios and drives.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean grass and leaves from
a lawn or flower bed.

bottles or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadium.

NOTE
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task.

Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds and by dampening
material with water/mist when necessary. Keep debris on your
property.
