Maintenance - Craftsman 358.792421 Operator's Manual

Use your blower attachment for:
• Sweeping debris or grass clippings
from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.
• Blowing grass clippings, straw, or
leaves into piles, or removing debris
from corners, around joints, or be-
tween bricks.
Control air flow by directing the blower
discharge opening down or to one side.
Always work away from solid objects
such as walks, large stones, vehicles,
and fences.
Clean corners by starting in corners and
moving outward. This will help prevent
an accumulation of debris which could
fly into your face.
Be careful when working near plants.
The force of the air could damage ten-
der plants.
