OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figures 7 - 8.
WARNING:
Always hold the blower away from your body with the
handle in your right hand, keeping clearance between
your body and the product. The muffler side of the blower
should be away from your body. Any contact with the
housing can result in burns and/or other serious personal
injury.
 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in
your right hand.
WARNING:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or
gravel. Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent
resulting in possible damage to the unit and could result
in serious personal injury.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only - not
early in the morning or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordi-
nances.
OPERATION
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 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.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
 In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 Hold blower, as shown in Figure 7, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
 Use the sweeper nozzle for the every-day blowing op-
eration. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered
during the blowing operation.

CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control can be used to operate the blower without
holding the throttle trigger.
To engage the cruise control:
 Pull cruise control lever back towards user, and stop at
