As far as directions, it is generally desired to have the fan blow air over the armature, then the commutator. The comm is more sensitive to dirt and debris. Getting dirt blown right at the comm while operating can potential scar the comm and damage it if dirt gets under the brushes.
For the less edmakated, which end is which? You mean blowing from the back is bestest?
