• When used as a blower, ensure that the inlet cover is
completely closed and locked.
• Keep a firm grip on both the handle and auxiliary handle.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound
level(s), hearing protection is required.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a mulcher.
• 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.
