Original Instructions

 

Immediately turn off the product and remove 

the battery pack in the event of accident 

or breakdown. Do not operate the product 

again until it has been fully checked by an 

authorised service centre.

 

Injuries may be caused or aggravated by 

prolonged use of a tool. When using any 

tool for prolonged periods, ensure to take 

regular breaks.

BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions 

to reduce the risk of injury associated with 

the inhalation of dust.

 

Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty 

conditions.

 

Do not use the product near open windows.

 

Use the full blower nozzle extension so that 

the air stream can work close to the ground 

and perform effectively.

 

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris 

before blowing.

 

Do not point the blower nozzle in the 

direction of people or pets.

 

Never place objects inside the blower tubes.

 

Do not place the product on top of or near 

loose debris. Debris can be sucked into the 

intake vent, resulting in possible damage to 

the product.

VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS

Before using the product in vacuum mode, the 

upper and lower tubes must be assembled. 

The assembly is a one-time operation only. 

Never operate the vacuum with only the 

upper vacuum tube fitted. Failure to follow this 

warning increases the risk of personal injury.
Without the lower vacuum tube fitted, it is much 

easier to reach up inside the tube towards the 

fan blade.

 

Do not operate the vacuum without the 

debris collector bag assembly installed. 

Flying debris could cause serious injury. 

Make sure that the debris collector bag is 

in good condition and completely closed 

before operating the product.

 

Move the vacuum from side to side along the 

outer edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, 

do not place the vacuum tube directly into 

the debris pile.

 

Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of 

the vacuum tube.

 

To avoid serious injury to the operator or 

damage to the product, do not try to vacuum 

up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or similar 

objects.

 

Avoid situations that could cause fire in the 

debris collector bag. Do not operate the 

product near an open flame. Do not vacuum 

up warm ash from fireplaces and barbecue 

pits. Do not vacuum up discarded cigars or 

cigarettes unless the cinders are completely 

cool.

 

Keep all parts of your body away from any 

moving part. Rotating fan blades can cause 

severe injury. Stop the motor and ensure 

that fan blades have stopped rotating 

before opening the vacuum door, installing 

or changing tubes, or opening or removing 

the debris bag.

 

When feeding material into the product, 

make sure that the pieces of metal, rocks, 

bottles, cans, or other foreign objects are 

not included.

 

Do not allow processed material to build 

up in the discharge zone. This may prevent 

proper discharge and can result in kickback 

of material through the intake opening.

 

If the product becomes clogged, stop the 

product and remove the battery pack before 

cleaning the debris.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY 

WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and 

product damage due to a short circuit, never 

immerse the tool, battery pack or charger in 

fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive 

or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain 

industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-

containing products, etc., can cause a short 

circuit.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

 

Turn off the product, remove the battery 

pack, and allow it to cool down before 

storing or transporting.

 

Remove all foreign materials from the 

product. Store the product in a cool, dry, and 

well-ventilated place that is inaccessible 

to children. Keep the product away from 

corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals
