WARNING:
Inspect the area be-
fore using the unit. Remove all debris
and hard objects such as rocks, glass,

Use your unit as a blower for:
D
Sweeping 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.
Be careful when working near plants.
The force of the air could damage
tender plants.
