OPERATING THE BLOWER
Use extra care when wearing hearing
protection as it can be difficult to hear
bystanders . Watch out for small animals,
use extra care around blind corners and
doorways and switch off and stop using if
approached .
Watch out for vehicles and windows .
Use extra caution when operating close
to the ground so that objects are not
drawn into the air intake or ejected from
the nozzle .
TIPS FOR USE
Try these tips to get the most out of the
blower:
• Use only OREGON® attachments .
• To minimize dust, start blowing with
the nozzle low to the ground, and then
gradually move upward .
• In dusty conditions, wearing a dust
mask can increase comfort when
working .
• To develop technique, practice on small
amounts of grass clippings, a paper cup
or other light materials that are easy to
clean up .
• Practice different combinations of
nozzle movement and speeds to
determine what works best on a given
surface and material .
• In extremely dusty areas, sprinkle water
on the surface to minimize dust .
• Use a broom or rake to loosen heavy
debris before blowing .
• Do not work against the wind . Moving
debris in the direction the wind is
blowing is easier and generates less
dust .
