Use/Operation
The easiest way to use the blower vacuum is to place the
shoulder strap in a comfortable position over your shoulder and
hold the rear handle at hip height so that the majority of the
tool’s weight rests on the rollers.
When using the blower vacuum to pick up leaves it is best to
move the tool on its rollers. This ensures that the blower
vacuum is at the perfect height above the ground. The blower
vacuum is designed only to pick up leaves. To avoid any
damage to the tool that is not covered by the warranty; do not
use it to pick up branches, stones or other hard materials.
When using the tool as a leaf blower always work away from
solid objects such as walls, fences, etc. Whilst you work do not
place the blower/vac tube too close to the leaves. The tool will
be more effective if you keep it at a certain distance away from
the leaves and blow the leaves forwards.

Switching operating mode
To switch the tool from blower mode to vacuum mode,
release the main switch and move the selector lever to
the other position (7.1):
Lever to rear of machine (move lever upward) = vacuum
(suction)
Lever towards front of machine (move lever downward) =
blower
Blower operation
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.
Vacuum operation
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves etc., to dry out first.
Your blower vacuum 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!
