Operating Tips
m
WARNING!
Use the cordless blower only in daylight or
good artificial light.
• When using the cordless blower, plant your feet firmly
on the ground and place your dominant hand on the unit
handle to control the unit. Use your other hand to steady
the unit as needed.
•
Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• Make sure the blower tube nozzle is not directed at
anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure
the tubes and guards are in place and secure.
• Keep a firm grip on the unit handle while in use.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
increased sound levels, hearing protection is required.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday
through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate power
blowers at the lowest possible speed setting necessary to
do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• 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.
• Blow debris into a safe, open area away from children,
pets, open windows or freshly washed cars.
• Clean up after using leaf blowers and other lawn
equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
