lower vacuum tubes are removed, make
sure the vacuum door is snapped
closed before plugging in the unit, to
avoid injury from the impeller.

To avoid serious
personal injury, do not wear loose
fitting clothing or articles such as

SHOULDER STRAP ADJUSTMENTS
1.
With the unit turned off, hold the unit in
your left hand in an upright position.
Support the lower vacuum tube on the
ground (Fig. 19).
2.
Place the vacuum bag strap over your head
and onto your left shoulder.
3.
Extend your right arm toward the rear of the
vacuum bag. Adjust the vacuum bag strap
until the vacuum bag/shoulder strap seam
lies between your thumb and index finger.
4.
Make sure the vacuum bag strap is
adjusted to allow a free flow of air from the
vacuum bag elbow tube (Fig. 19). If the bag
is kinked, the tool will not operate properly.
Hold the vacuum, tilting the suction tube
slightly, and use a sweeping action to collect
light debris (Fig. 19). The debris will flow into the
vacuum bag. Things such as small leaves and
small twigs will be mulched as they pass
through the fan housing, allowing the vacuum
bag to hold a lot of debris.
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably
decrease. Turn off and unplug the unit before
you unzip the bag. Unzip the bag and empty the
contents before continuing.
WARNING:
To avoid serious
personal injury, never unzip the
vacuum bag without first turning
off and unplugging the unit.
