OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 16, 17, or 18
and sweep from side to side with the nozzle
several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly
advance, keeping the accumulated pile of debris
in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited
to low speed than high. Of course, you may
choose to use either and you’ll probably find the
high speed better for moving heavier items like
large debris or gravel.
1. Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower
beds and hard-to-clean areas (Fig. 16).
WARNING: To avoid serious
personal injury, wear goggles or safety
glasses at all times when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust
mask in dusty locations.

2. Use the blower around buildings and for
other normal cleaning (Fig. 17).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this unit has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other).
The outdoor extension cord used with
the unit must also be polarized. The
plug on the extension cord will fit into
the unit only one way. If the plug doesn’t
fit fully into the unit, reverse the plug. If it
does not fit, use a cord with a correct
connection. If the cord does not fit into
the power supply outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. DO NOT change the plug on the
extension cord or unit in any way.
1. Use an appropriate extension cord to
connect to power. See Electrical Safety
Warnings for recommended cords.
2. Secure the extension cord to motor housing
as shown (Fig. 14).
