Understand How They’re Used
Leaf blowers can be used for more than leaf cleanup. They’re often used to clear grass clippings, clear gutters, remove debris from larger equipment, clean driveways and lots, dry pavement, and clear light snowfall. Knowing how they can be used will help you identify safe usage.
Know the Limitations
Although they can be utilized in more than one way, it is important to understand that they do have limitations. Leaf blowers are intended to move debris, but trying to move too much or too heavy of debris can cause damage or injury. It’s also important to avoid tampering with or modifying the intended design of the blower.
Stay Aware of Surroundings
The biggest danger with leaf blowers is the debris that they are moving around. Whenever you use a leaf blower, it is critical that you are aware of your surroundings constantly. You don’t want other people to be too close to the area you’re working in and you don’t want to send any items astray! Pay attention to the material you’re clearing and identify any potential problems before you get started.
