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 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.

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can

■
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery pack life.
■
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately.
■
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your unit for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice
will prolong battery pack life.
