Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely 

that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If 

you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the 

parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. 

Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Fitting the collection bag

1.  Connect the strap (fig A)

onto the hook on the 

underside of the blower 

vacuum housing (fig B).

2.  Attach the push-on plastic 

connector (fig C) to the 

outlet tube of the housing 

(fig D). Push the fitting 

of the collection bag 

directly onto the outlet 

until it “clicks” 

into position (fig E).

3.  To remove the collection 

bag, disconnect the 

attachments in the 

reverse order.

4.  When removing the 

fitting on the outlet, 

first depress the two 

buttons on either side 

of the plastic connector 

(fig F), and then pull 

downwards on the fitting. 

Finally, remove the strap 

from the hook under the 

blow/vacuum tube.

Operation of the blower vac

Prior to using the blower vac, ensure you have read and 

understood this instruction manual. 

•  

Ensure you are wearing suitable clothing and also safety 

equipment like safety glasses, ear protection and a 

mask if necessary.

•  

Ensure the attachments to the blower vac are correctly 

fitted and adjusted.

•  

Be aware of other people and animals in the area where 

you are to be operating the blower vac.

To turn the blower vac on 

1.  Plug the power cord into 

an approved electrical 

extension cord, and turn 

the extension cord on.

2.  Ensuring the blower vac is 

directed in a safe direction, 

depress the trigger switch 

(1) and the blower vac will 

start. (fig G).

Be sure to be holding the blower vac firmly on start up.

To turn the blower vac off

To turn the blower vac “off”, simply release the trigger switch.

Important. 

After you have turned the blower vac off, do 

not leave the product until the blower vac has been fully 

disconnected from the electrical supply.

To select the blow operation

1.  Move the blower/vacuum 

selector lever (2) towards 

the back of the housing 

(fig H).

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
