
Stopping the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder
To turn off the machine you can simply release the switch button.

Using the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves etc., to dry out before using the
Blower/Vacuum/Shredder. The Blower/Vacuum/Shredder can be used to blow debris from patios, paths,
driveways, lawns, bushes and borders. It will also pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood chippings. When
using the Blower/Vacuum/ Shredder in Vacuum mode the debris is sucked up the suction tube before being
ejected into the debris collection bag, as the debris passes through the suction fan it is partially shredded. The
shredded organic debris is ideal to use as mulch around plants.
Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans glass etc., will damage the suction fan.
Do not use the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder to suck up water or very wet debris.
Never operate the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder without the debris collection bag fitted.

BLOWER MODE
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder. Select the blow function using the selector lever on the side
of the machine and switch on. With the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder resting on its wheels, move the
Blower/Vacuum/Shredder forward directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to side. Moving forward and
direct the nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow the debris into a convenient heap then use the vacuum function
to collect the debris.

VACUUM MODE
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower. Select the vacuum function using the selector lever on the side of the
machine and switch on. With the Blower/Vacuum/Shredder resting on its wheels move the
Blower/Vacuum/Shredder forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be collected. Alternatively with the
Blower/Vacuum/Shredder held just above the ground swing the machine from side to side, moving forwards and
directing the nozzle at the debris to be collected. Do not force the nozzle into the debris as this will block the
suction tube and reduce the efficiency of the machine.
Organic materials such as leaves contain a large amount of water that can cause them to stick to the inside of the
suction tube. To reduce sticking the material should be left for a few days to dry out.
