OPERATING POSITION
^WARNING: Inspect the area be­
fore using the unit. Remove all debris
and hard objects such as rocks, glass,
wire, etc., that can ricochet, be thrown,
or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation.
Use your unit as a blower for;
• Sweeping debris or grass clippings
from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.
• Blowing grass clippings, straw, or
leaves into piies, or removing debris
from ojrners, around joints, or be­
tween bricks.
Direct air flow by directing the blower
tube/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.
