helps direct static buildup into the air
stream reducing the felt amount to the
operator.
Place the blower upright on the 1.
ground or a sturdy work surface and
note parts orientation as shown in

right angle and slip anti-static wire
through the 102 mm clamp and flex-
ible tube.
Slip the flexible tube over the end of
