8.4 Switching operating mode (Fig. 7.1 )
To switch the tool from blower mode to vacuum mode, simply switch it off at the main switch
and move the function selector lever to the other position :
Lever to rear of machine (move lever upward) = vac. (suction)
Lever towards front of machine (move lever downward) = blow
As blower
：
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects that could be thrown,
jammed or become entangled in the blower-vac.
The blower-vac can be used to blow debris from patios, paths, driveways, lawns, bushes,
borders etc.
Work away from solid objects.
As Vac
：
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves etc, to dry out first.
Your blower-vac will pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood chippings. These are sucked
up the tube. Before being ejected into the collection bag, they pass through the suction fan and
are partially shredded. Shredded organic material is ideal to use as mulch around plants.
Warning! Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans glass etc, will damage the
suction fan!
8.5 Collection bag
Note: Before you remove and empty the collection bag ensure that the tool has
been disconnected from the mains power supply.
To empty the collection bag simply open the zipper, empty the bag and then close the zipper
again.
When the collection bag is open you can also check the function of the blower vac’s slide
control. If there is a blockage in the tool, check this function and remove the blockage.
9 RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construction and design:
▪ Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
▪ Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
▪ Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer
period of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
