Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It can be carried by the
control handle in either the right or left
hand.
The nozzle supplied enables you to
carry out a wide variety of clean-up jobs.
The round nozzle* is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle* produces a broad and
powerful airstream at ground level. It can
be aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on flat surfaces.

Working techniques
To minimize blowing time, use rakes and
brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize airborne debris and pollution:
:
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
:
Use the full blower nozzle extension
so the air stream can work close to
the ground.
:
Do not direct debris at people,
children, pets, as open windows or
freshly-washed cars. Blow debris
safely away.
:
After using blowers,
CLEAN UP
.
Dispose of debris in trash
receptacles. Do not blow debris
onto neighbouring properties.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize noise:
:
Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours - not early in the
morning, late at night or during the
noon-break when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual
recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 a.m. and 03:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. on workdays for professionals.
Special considerations should be
given to neighbours on weekends.
:
Fewer engines mean less noise;
therefore use only one piece of
power equipment at a time, when
possible.
:
Operate power blowers at the
lowest possible throttle speed to do
the job.
:
Check your equipment before
operation, especially the muffler, air
intakes and air filters.
Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for those lawn and
garden applications where a blower can
