Blowing Operation
• Hold the blower firmly with your dominant hand on the unit
handle. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several
inches above the ground or floor (Fig. 7).
• 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 best for moving heavier items like large
debris or gravel.
