USING THE BLOWER ATTACHMENT
See Figure 4.
When using the blower attachment, hold the unit with your
right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
The blower should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
NOTE:
Carry the unit slightly above ground level. Do not
drag or push it along on the ground as the housing will
wear quickly.
OPERATING TIPS

To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.


You will find that it is no longer necessary to move objects
to effectively clean around them. A simple blast from the
blower will move debris from those difficult to reach and
often impossible to clean areas.


The ground level air blast is ideal for practically all sweep-
ing jobs.
