What instructions should I follow to adjust the blowing power?
You should always adjust the intensity of the air flow according to the type of material to be removed:
- low speed for light materials and small twigs on the grass.
- medium speed for moving grass and light leaves on asphalt or solid ground.
- maximum speed for heavier materials such as fresh snow, wet leaves or large pieces of dirt.
You are always recommended to pay careful attention to prevent the material removed or dust from injuring people or animals and damaging
property. Always check the wind direction and never work against the wind.
For more details, please see the user manual.
Is it also possible to use the leaf blower as a vacuum? If yes, what material can be collected?
No, this petrol blower does not have a vacuum function.
