  WARNING

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter 

mask or serious personal injury may result. .

Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.

Read the Safety Section carefully.

IMPORTANT  

To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower pipe.

Use only during appropriate hours.

Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.

Control engine speed with throttle trigger (A), or for continuous use, 
set engine speed with throttle position lever (B). Rotate throttle position 

lever forward for lower speed; back for higher speed.

Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.

Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from 

lawns and flower beds.

NOTE

Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task.
Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower 
noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris 
on your property.
Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

IMPORTANT

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 ap-

proximately 40 hours of operation. 

Read the Safety Section carefully.

IMPORTANT  

To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block 

blower pipe.
