USING THE BLOWER
The blower tube (T) has a pegged slot
mounting system to the unit. To install or
remove the blower tube, the tube clamp bolt
must be removed. Align slot in the blower
air outlet with the raised rib on the tube and
insert tube until the holes in the tube and
housing align. Re--insert the tube clamp bolt
and tighten.
The nozzles (U) have a bayonet mount for
connection to the blower tube. Air is chan-
neled through the blower tube to the
nozzles, where the air discharge velocity
increases and the air stream discharge pat-
tern is formed to provide best performance.
The length of the blower tube can be ad-
justed by twisting the nozzle to the left to
disengage the bayonet mount and sliding
the nozzle to the appropriate position.
Twist the nozzle to the right until a click is
felt to re--secure the nozzle.

sonal safety equipment:
1. Hearing protection.

injury, especially if the blower has
previously been used for vacuuming.

operation is applied. Avoid any di-
rect body contact with inlet cover
area. Keep jewelry, loose clothing,
