USING YOUR UNIT AS A BLOWER
dt_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 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.
Be careful when working near plants.
The force of the air could damage
tender plants.

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.

clogged, stop the unit and unplug the ex-
tension
cord. Wait until the impeller has
