OPERATIOn

AIR VENTS
never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions and debris. They must always remain
clear for proper motor cooling.
W A R N I N G
To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves,
strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air vents. To make sure long hair does not
get drawn into the air vents, tie back long hair.
OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground
or floor. 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. High speed blowing is a
better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
OPERATING AS A MULCHER
Hold the vac firmly, tilting the mulcher tubes (2-4 in. or 5-10 cm), and use a sweeping action to
collect light debris. The debris will flow into the bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs will be
mulched as they pass through the fan housing. for longer bag life and increased performance,
empty the bag often.
