OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 5.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
