Hold the leaf blower, tilting the 
blower/vacuum tube slightly and 
using a sweeping motion to collect 
light debris.  Small leaves and twigs 
will flow into the vacuum bag and be 
mulched as they pass through the 
fan housing, allowing the vacuum 
bag to hold more debris.  Avoid 
forcing the leaf blower into a pile of 
debris as this can block the unit or 
the blower/vacuum tube.

or make an abnormal sound, turn the unit 
“Off”, unplug from power source and 
check for the cause.

blower to spread fertilizer or clear 

any kind of powdered or dangerous 
chemicals.  This is highly dangerous and 
could cause serious harm to the operator 
and environment.
