OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The bag is installed and zipped closed (when used as a vac).
OPERATING TIPS
Be sure the bag is zipped closed before operating the unit.
Assure the unit is not directed at anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure the tubes and guards are in
place and secure.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operating.
Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear handle or grips.
To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is
required.
Use the shoulder strap when using unit as a vac.
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. Usual
recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at anyone time.
To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
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.
Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
