STARTING YOUR UNIT
Your unit has two run positions, Low

WARNING: Do not use the unit with­
out the blower tubes, or collection bag
properly attached to avoid flying debris
and/or impeller contact which can
cause serious injury. Always wear eye
protection to prevent rocks or debris
from being blown or ricocheting into
the eyes and face which can result in
blindness or serious injury.
USING YOUR UNIT AS A BLOWER
Use your unit as a blower for:
• Sweeping debris or grass clippings
from driveways, sidewalks, patios,
etc.
• Blowing grass clippings, straw, or
leaves into piles, or removing debris
from corners, around joints, or be­
tween bricks.
Direct air flow by directing the nozzle
down or to one side. Always work
away from solid objects such as walks,
large stones, vehicles, and fences.
Clean corners by starting in corners
and moving outward. This will help
prevent an accumulation of debris
which could fly into your face.
Be careful when working near plants.
The force of the air could damage
tender plants.
