Now that you have the best blower for your needs, we’ll share a few quick tips for effective use. Always wear the appropriate safety gear; we recommend eye protection, ear muffs, gloves and sturdy footwear. Timing is everything! Avoid attempting to blow wet leaves and leave enough time for dew to dry in the morning before you start. If its breezy, use the wind to help you- don’t blow directly into the wind or you could end up with leaves and grit blowing back at you. Once you’ve decided where you are going to collect your leaves, pick up larger waste before you start, like twigs and branches, and blow in a semi circular arc.
