• When using the unit as a vacuum/mulcher, make sure the
bag is properly installed and zipped closed.
• Make sure the blower tube nozzle is not directed at
anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make
sure the tubes and guards are in place and secure.
• Ensure that the vacuum/mulch inlet cover is completely
closed and locked.
• Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear handle or grips.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound
level(s), hearing protection is required.
• Operate this blower vac and other power equipment only
at reasonable hours. Avoid use early in the morning or late
at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations
are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate
power blowers at the lowest possible speed setting
necessary to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, such as cleaning
gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
• Blow debris into a safe, open area away from children,
pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars.
• Clean up after using leaf blowers and other lawn
equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.

m
WARNING!
To prevent serious personal injury or
damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube or the vacuum/
mulcher tubes and the collection bag are in place before
operating the unit.
Air Vents
Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions
and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor
cooling.
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, tie back
long hair and do not wear loose fitting clothing or dangling
articles such as scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc. Such items
could get drawn into the air vents.
Blower Mode
• Hold the blower firmly with one hand on the main handle
and the other hand on the auxiliary handle. Sweep from
side to side with the nozzle several inches above the
ground or floor (Fig. 14).
• Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile
of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are
better suited to low speeds rather than high speeds. High
speed blowing is best for moving heavier items like large
debris or gravel.
Mulcher Mode
• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
can convert to vacuum/mulcher mode to collect the
debris.
• With a firm hold on the unit, tilt the vacuum/mulcher tubes
2 – 4 in. (5 – 10 cm) from the ground and use a sweeping
action to collect light debris. The debris will flow into the
bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs will be mulched
as they pass through the fan housing. For longer bag life
and optimal performance, empty the bag frequently
(Fig. 15).
• Move easily from one pile of debris to the next by gliding
the vacuum/mulcher along the ground using the wheel
assist assembly.
