Blowing grass clippings back into the lawn will help return nutrients and water to the soil. Clippings are a valuable food source for your root system. Blow or vacuum leaves when they are dry and coverage is light. Wear hearing protection for your ears and safety glasses for your eyes when operating a blower and blower vacuum. Wear a facemask to avoid unhealthy inhalation in dusty conditions.
Point blower away from people and pets.
Reduce blower speed for passing pedestrians. Allow the engine to cool, before storing your leaf blower. This tip prevents kickback. Keep your body away from the line of cut. Make sure you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree before operating a chain saw.
