CLEANING AND STORAGE
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL! (Unplug extension cord at power source.)
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Clean out any clippings which may have
accumulated in the Blower/Vac. When used properly with dry leaves the fan chamber of your
Blower/Vac should remain clean. If damp earth and debris are ingested some of the particles
may build up on the inside of the fan chamber. If this happens the performance of the unit will
decrease. This area can be cleaned out using a wooden stick as shown in
figure 16
after
disconnecting from the power source. Your Blower/Vac should be stored in a dry place.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE TOOL IN
