OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 5.
■ 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.
■ Conserve water by using power blowers 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, and blow debris safely away.
■ After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
