Working positions:
Blow mode
Use your unit as a blower for sweeping debris or grass clippings
from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc. Also, for blowing grass
clippings, straw, or leaves into piles, or removing debris from
corners, around joints, or between bricks.
Use the variable speed control to increase or decrease the motor
speed during blower use. 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.
Vacuum mode
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 forcing 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.
This will reduce possible personal injury from the impeller.
