 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 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.
 Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
 Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing opera-
tion. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during
the blowing operation.
 The high velocity nozzle is specifically designed for wet
sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris
while operating the blower.
