Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Blower housing may contain shredder blades and other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces. operatIng blower WARNING Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face fil- ter mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets. Read the Safety Section carefully. IMPORTANT To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower pipe. 1. Use only during appropriate hours. IMPORTANT Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approximately 40 hours of operation. 2. Control blower speed with throttle trigger. 3. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces. 4. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from lawns and flowerbeds. NOTE Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor. 10 10 maIntenance WARNING Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
