OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING
Refer to the Electrical Information page for the installation and connection of
the power cord.
Warning!
To avoid serious personal injury, always wear safety glasses. Wear
a facial mask in dusty locations and wear appropriate clothing such as boots,
gloves, long pants and long-sleeved shirt.
In either blower mode or vacuum/mulcher mode, move the On/Off switch (A)
Fig.7 to the On position to turn blower on. Move the On/Off switch to the Off
position to turn blower off.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
This blower/vacuum/mulcher comes with a variable speed dial (A) Fig.8 which
controls the amount of air flow during use (blower or vacuum/mulcher mode).
Fig.8 shows which direction to turn the variable speed dial to increase or
decrease the air flow when in blower mode. In vacuum/mulcher mode, it is the
opposite.
HOLDING THE BLOWER/VACUUM/MULCHER
In Blower Mode
- Hold the blower tube approximately 7” above the ground
and turn the switch to the On position to start. In a sweeping motion, move the
blower side-to-side, advancing slowing keeping the leaves, grass etc. in front
of you. Once all debris is in a pile, you can now convert your blower to
vacuum/mulcher mode to collect the debris for disposal.
In Vacuum/Mulcher Mode
- Tilt the vacuum/mulcher tube slightly and use a
sweeping motion, move the vacuum/mulcher tube side-to-side and turn the
switch to the On position to start. Small debris will flow into and through the
vaccum tube into the collection bag. Larger debris such as leaves and small
twigs will be mulched as they pass through the impeller housing.
Once the collection bag gets full
, the suction power will decrease, to avoid
this, turn off vacuum/mulcher and unplug the extension cord. Unzip the
collection bag and empty its contents before continuing to operate.
CAUTION
: NEVER UNZIP THE COLLECTION BAG WITHOUT FIRST
TURNING OFF AND UNPLUGGING THE VACUUM/MULCHER.
NOTE: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full, the vacuum collection
tube is probably clogged with debris. Turn off and unplug the vacuum/mulcher
and clear the collection tube before continuing.
