f) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
g) Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use the product only in daylight or good artificial light.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
5) Maintenance and storage
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
– Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the product is in a safe working
condition.
– Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
– Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories.
– Inspect the debris bag regularly. If the debris bag becomes worn or damaged,
replace.
– Store in a cool dry place and out of reach of children. Do not store outdoors.
Blower safety warnings
• Inspect the area before using the unit.
Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc., that can
ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.
• Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached.
When used as a blower, always install a blower tube. Use only recommended
attachments to prevent personal injury.
• Do not use blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc. Proper use of the blower will help avoid spreading fire.
• Never place objects inside the blower tubes; always direct the blow-
ing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such
as trees, automobiles, walls, etc.
The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet
which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.
• Never use for spreading chemicals, fertil izers, or any other substances.
This will prevent the spreading of toxic materials.
Vacuum safety warnings
• Stop the motor and disconnect the extension cord before opening the
air inlet door or attempting to insert or remove the vacuum tubes.
The motor must be stopped and the impeller blades no longer turning to avoid
serious injury from the rotating blades.
• Inspect the area before using the unit. Hard objects can be thrown
through the collection bag or the housing and become dangerous missiles
which can cause serious injury to the operator or others.
• Do not vacuum stones, gravel, metal, broken glass, etc. Proper use of
the unit will reduce possible personal injury and/or damage to the unit.
• Do not attempt to vacuum water or other liquids. Water or other liquids
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached.
When used as a vacuum, always install vacuum tubes and collection bag
assembly. Make sure the collection bag assembly is completely zipped when
unit is running to avoid flying debris. Use only recommended attachments.
• Do not vacuum discarded matches, cigars, cigarettes, or ash from
fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. Avoid situations which could
set the collection bag on fire. To avoid spreading fire, do not use blower near
leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
• Always use the shoulder strap when vacuuming. This will help maintain
control of the power tool.
• Check air intake openings, elbow tube, and vacuum tubes frequently,
always with the unit stopped and the power source disconnected.
Keep vents and tubes free of debris which can accumulate and restrict proper
air flow. Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep free of dust, lint, hair and
anything that may reduce air flow.

DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates.
This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive
medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly
