debris or grass clippings

from driveways,

sidewalks,

patios,

etc.

° Blowing grass clippings,

straw, or

leaves into piles, or removing

debris

tween

bricks.

Direct air flow by directing the blower

tube

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

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

tender

plants.
