When blow-sweeping (in open ground and gardens), watch out for small animals to avoid harming them. Never leave a running machine unattended. Take special care in slippery conditions – damp, snow, ice, on slopes and uneven ground.
English Working Technique Vibrations To minimize blowing time, use a rake and broom to loosen dirt particles before you start blowing.
