 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such
as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
