Selecting the blowing operation

1. Move the selector lever (2) 

down. You will hear a loud 

click as it goes into place.

Note. 

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.

IMPORTANT. 

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.

Selecting the vacuum operation

1. Push the selector lever (2) up. 

You will hear a loud click as it 

goes into place.

Note. 

When the vacuum 

operation is selected, air and 

debris are drawn up through 

the large vac tube, and forced 

through the metal mulching 

impeller. 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.

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

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.
