Never blow directly into the center of a pile. n To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available. n 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. n Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away. n After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly. WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be in the OFF position when not in use or carrying at your side.
