Depending on the application, the leaf blower can
be operated at a reduced air flow or high air flow.
Turn the wheel forwards to switch the leaf blower
on and to increase the air flow.
Use a high blowing speed to blow heavy leaf litter,
e.g. twigs or wet foliage, into heaps.
Turn the wheel backwards to reduce the air flow.
Use a reduced blowing speed to blow light leaf
litter, e.g. foliage or fir needles, into heaps.
Switch the leaf blower off by turning the wheel
backwards until it engages.
