USING YOUR UNIT AS A BLOWER

4_.I!bWARNING: 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 piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or be- tween bricks.

Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side. Always work away from solid ob ects 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.

USING YOUR UNIT AS A VACUUM

_lk WARNING: Do not vacuum

stones, gravel, metal, broken glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to the im- peller. To avoid the possibility of elec-

trical shock, do not attempt to vacuum water or other liquids.

Use your unit as a vacuum to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper.

•For best results during vacuum use, operate your unit at high speed.

•Move slowly back and forth over the material as you vacuum. Avoid forc- ing the unit into a pile of debris as this can clog the unit.

•Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above the ground for best results.

_WARNING: If the unit becomes

clogged, stop the unit and unplug the extension cord. Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning, then remove the vacuum tubes. Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out the clogged debris.
