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. 20).
• 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.
Vacuum/Mulcher Mode
• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
• With a firm hold on the vac, tilt the mulcher tubes
2 in – 4 in. (5 cm – 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 increased performance, empty the bag
frequently (Fig. 21).
• As the bag fills, suction power will decrease. When this
happens, turn the power switch to the OFF position and
remove the batteries. Unzip the bag and empty the debris.
• To remove the bag, press the tube release button (Fig. 12).
Turn the bag upside down and shake out any debris and
leaves.
m
WARNING!
Never remove the collection bag without
first turning the power switch to the OFF position and remove
the batteries.
m
WARNING!
Do not use in vacuum/mulcher mode
without the vacuum tubes and collection bag in place.
Clearing a Blocked Tube/Impeller
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, be sure
the unit is OFF and remove the batteries before clearing the
impeller.
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or
other sharp objects.
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as cloth,
rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan and block
the motor. A thermal protection device, which is built into the
batteries, will cut off the electricity to the motor to prevent
damage from overheating.
In the event an obstruction occurs and power is curtailed:
1.
Slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position until the unit
comes to a complete stop.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Remove the blower tube or vacuum/mulcher tubes and
the bag.
4. Using a chute clean-out tool, carefully remove the material
blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect to ensure no
damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by hand
to ensure the blockage is completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the blower tube or vacuum/mulcher tubes and
the bag.
6. Wait 3 minutes for the motor to cool.
7.
Reinsert the batteries and slide the ON/OFF switch to ON.
The blower vac will resume normal function.
