Important:
After you have turned the blower vac off, do not
leave the product unattended or connected to the extension
cord.
To select the blow operation
1. Move the selector lever
towards the back of the
housing. When the blow
operation is selected, air is
drawn up through the large
blow/vac tube and then
expelled at a much higher
velocity in the lower cavity
below the blow/ vac tube.
Ensure when the blow
operation is selected the
blower vac is pointed, directed and used in a safe manner.
Do not direct the air flow from this blower vac directly or
indirectly towards another person.
To select the vacuum
operation
1. Push the selector lever
forward.
When the vacuum operation
is selected, air and debris is
drawn up through the large
vac tube, and forced through
the mulching impellor. The
debris is mulched and then
blown down into the collection
bag.
Important. Always ensure the collection bag is correctly
attached as per the “Fitting the collection bag” section in
this manual.
Always be aware of what is being drawn up into the blow/
vac tube. This product is only designed for garden debris
like leaves, twigs and garden cuttings.
Important notes when using the blower/vacuum
selector lever:
Do not force the lever. The lever should move with very little
resistance. If the lever is difficult to move, disconnect the
power supply, remove the collection bag and ensure debris,
dirt or mud has not jammed the lever.
When selecting either of the operations, ensure the selector
lever is fully in one position or the other, not half way.
To empty the collection bag
The collection bag is attached to the blower vac in 2 places.
It is not necessary to remove the collection bag from the
blower vac when the bag needs to be emptied.
The rear of the bag is fitted with a full length zip.
Simply open the zip and empty the contents.
Ensure to close the zip prior to operating the blower vac.
Tips for using your blower vac
The following points may assist you in the operation of the
blower vac.
• Always try and vacuum dry leaves, cuttings or general
garden debris.
• Wet material is difficult to mulch and also can cause the
blower vac to clog.
• If the leaves etc. are damp, then use the blower vac in
blow selection to pile the leaves etc. into one area, vac
and mulch the leaves when dry.
•
Avoid using the vac on areas where there are stones,
or other hard objects. These objects will damage the
impellor of the blower vac.
• It is also advisable not to allow the blower vac to pick up
soil. Soil generally contains moisture and when combined
with other garden debris can clog the blower vac.
• The blower vac is not a garbage disposal unit. Do not
attempt to mulch any material than general garden
debris.
