■USE OF BLOWER

• Each time before starting the engine,

place. If any damage is found in the fuel
line, the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring,
do not use the blower until it has been

fasteners and rusted or damaged parts.

before refueling.

• Mix and store fuel only in a approved
container.

•Never smoke while refueling the blower.

•Wipe off any spilled fuel and tighten the fuel
cap securely.

are working in properly.

•Never use more than one unit of the blower
at a time.

■AVOID CHANCES OF DAMAGE

• Avoid directing the blower nozzle toward
persons, pets, cars, windows or anything
that could be harmed by blowing debris or
dust.

• Keep the nozzle at full extension when
operating so as to make the air stream
close to the ground.

• Collect any trash and leaves and put them
into a proper container after the job is
done.

•Always check to be sure that no debris has
been blown onto someone else’s property.
