USING YOUR UNIT AS A BLOWER

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:

DSweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.

D Blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or between bricks.

Direct air flow by directing the blower tube 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.
