As a general turbine operational technique (not specific to any engine):

A well warmed-up engine will probably peak at lower EGT on TO than a colder one. So - doing a part-power (80% N1 or so) runup for maybe a minute will likely be of benefit in keeping EGT down. If it's a cold engine (shutdown for 6 hours or more), another minute might help.

Of course, the usual precautions about FOD, erosive ingestion, jet blast etc. still apply, and there's the added fuel to consider. But if your back is to the wall...
