The RUN position isused for full speed operation. The HALFCHOKE position is used for a brief initialwarm-up period.Eye ProtectionOPERATINGPOSITIONOPERATING TIPSS To reduce the risk of hearing lossassociated with sound level(s), hearingprotection is required.S Operate power equipment only at reasonablehours--not early in the morning or late at nightwhen peoplemight be disturbed. Comply withtimes listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,Monday though Saturday.S To reduce noise levels, operate powerblowers at the lowest possible throttlespeed to do the job.S To reduce noise levels, limit the number ofpieces of equipment used at any one time.S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-fore blowing.S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-faces when water is available.S Conserve water by using power blowersinstead of hoses for many lawn and gardenapplications, including areas such as gutters,screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.S Watch out for children, pets, open windows,or freshly washed cars.
