OPERATION
To stop the blower:
Release the throttle lever, then press the on/off switch to the stop position “O” until the blower
stops (Fig. 21).
Make sure to release the throttle lever and allow the engine to return to idle speed before stopping
the blower. Failure to do so could result in damaging the cylinder.
Never run the blower without the blower tubes installed. Use of an improperly assembled blower
could result in serious personal injury.
Always hold the blower away from your body when operating, keeping clearance between your
body and the product. The muffler side of the blower should be away from your body. Any contact
with the housing can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
