Ans: Yes, there are several precautions you should take before and during the operation of a backpack leaf blower. Here are some of them: • Use protective equipment when operating them, mainly goggles or glasses, a dust mask, noise-canceling ear-plugs or headphones, and long-sleeve shirts/pants.  • If you have long hair, tie it up, so it doesn’t come loose. Remove jewelry and other types of accessories that may fall off while operating the leaf blower.  • Check the backpack leaf blower before using it. Be sure it has no physical damage or unwanted debris stuck before turning it on. • Even the best backpack leaf blowers can be super-heavy. Don’t use them if you’re exhausted or if you can’t handle them comfortably. Otherwise, you may damage yourself or the machine. • If you’re using a gas-powered engine, don’t tip it upside down to prevent fuel/oil drips. For corded models, try to keep the cord out of your way to avoid any tangling or fall. • In case you’re using an extension cord, try to use heavy-duty ones. Corded backpack blowers use a lot of energy and need reliable accessories. • Try not to use backpack blowers on unstable places like roofs, ladders, stairs, or similar places. If you have to, then try using extra protective equipment. These precautions should be enough to ensure a safe and straightforward leaf-blowing experience.
