OPERATING
TIPS
• While vacuuming
or blowing debris,
hold the unit with the muffler side fac-
ing away from your body and clothes
(see OPERATING POSITION below).
• To reduce the risk of hearing
loss
associated
with sound level(s), hear-
ing protection
is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments.
Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not
early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances.
Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment
used at
any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate pow-
er blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions,
slightly dampen
surfaces
or use a mister attachment
when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blow-
ers 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.
Blow debris away safely.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension
so the air stream can work close to
the ground.
• After using blowers and other equip-
ment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris
in trash receptacles.

FUELING
ENGINE
_ILWARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso-
line must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil
We recommend
Craftsman brand syn-
thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of un-
leaded gasoline.
Included with this
blower is a 3.2 ounce container of oil.
Pour the entire contents of this container
into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the
proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE auto-
motive oil or boat oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on con-
tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline,
shake container momentarily to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
