- Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
AIR VENTS
Never cover air vents. Keep them free of obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor cooling.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather than high speeds. High speed blowing is a better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
