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. Never operate unit without
either housing cover grill or vacuum tube installed on unit securely,

2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. 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.
4. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from
lawns and flowerbeds.
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.
