3. Place the shoulder strap over your head and  onto

your shoulder and adjust properly, see 

Installing

and Adjusting the Shoulder Strap

Pg. 9. 

Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 17, 18, and 19. 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, while high speed is better for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.

Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and 
hard to clean areas (Fig. 17).
