Tips For Using The Blower
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
It is not recommended to use the blower at a high
speed for a long time, as large vibration and noise may
be harmful to your health.
