Air Vents; Operating As A Blower; Clearing A Blocked Tube / Impeller - GreenWorks 12A BLOWER Manuel Du Propriétaire

OPERATION

AIR VENTS

Never cover air vents. Keep them free of obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear for
proper motor cooling.

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 speeds. High-speed blowing is a better
way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
OPERATING AS A VAC
Hold the vac firmly, tilt the vac tubes (2-4'' (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
