Operating Blower
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all
moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing
obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Blower housing
might contain shredder blades and other sharp edges that can
cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine is off and
blades are not moving. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp
edges and hot surfaces.
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter
mask or serious personal injury can result. Do not point the
blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed operation
may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid
build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting in
overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run
engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and
inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approximately 40 hours
of operation.
Read the Safety Section carefully.
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower
pipe.

Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.
4.
Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from
lawns and flowerbeds.
