When using the blower as a vacuum
cleaner (vacuum attachment as special
accessory), the carrying strap on the
catcher bag is placed over the left
shoulder and the right arm is guided by
the carrying strap. The left hand grips
the handle on the housing, the right
hand gripping the carrying handle.
Large leaves, cardboard or pieces of
bark can be taken up by the suction
tube with its large diameter.
Never take up wet leaves as they may
clog the fan!
To minimize blowing time, use rakes
and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize airborne debris and pollution:
•
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
•
Use the full blower nozzle
extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
•
Do not direct debris at subjects
such as open windows or freshly-
washed cars.
•
After using blowers, clean up. Do
not blow debris onto neighbouring
properties.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize noise:
•
Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours - not early in the
morning, late at night or during the
noon-break when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 12:00
a.m. and 03:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
workdays for professionals. Special
considerations should be given to
neighbours on weekends.
•
Fewer engines mean less noise;
therefore use only one piece of
power equipment at a time, when
possible.
•
Operate power blowers at the
lowest possible throttle speed to do
the job.
•
Check your equipment before
operation, especially the muffler, air
intakes and air filters.
Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for those lawn and
garden applications where a blower can
be properly used, such as cleaning
patios or porches.
