WARNING
Before using the product in vacuum mode, you must
assemble the upper and lower vacuum tubes together.
This is a one-time operation only. Never operate the
vacuum with only the upper vacuum tube fitted. The risk
of personal injury is significantly increased if you fail to
follow this warning.
WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the engine and
inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre.
Do not touch the area around the silencer or engine of
the product. These parts get hot during operation.
Stop the engine and allow the product to cool down
before refuelling.
For refuelling and fuel mixing, chose an area that is well-
ventilated, and is away from ignition sources, such as
sparks or flames, and flammable materials.

an appropriate type of fire extinguisher nearby for dealing
with fuel fires.
Remember to securely refit the fuel tank cap before
starting the engine.
Wipe away any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from
refuelling site before starting engine.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, always stop the engine and disconnect the
spark plug boot. Make sure all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before:
• leaving the product unattended
• clearing blockages or unclogging chute
• checking, cleaning, or working on the product
• inspecting the product after striking a foreign object
Immediately stop the engine in an event of accident or
breakdown. Do not operate the product again until it has

The product is not intended for frequent use. It is for
occasional use for general applications, such as blowing
leaves, lawn clippings, etc. It is not intended for prolonged
use. Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory
problems to your hands due to vibration. For use in

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.
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
WARNING
Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum
tube fitted. Failure to follow this warning increases the risk
of personal injury.
NOTE:
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 engine 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
engine and ensure that fan blades have stopped rotating
before opening the vacuum door, installing or changing
tubes, or opening or removing 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 engine and
remove the spark plug boot before cleaning the debris.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Stop the engine and allow the product to cool down
before storing or transporting.
Clean all foreign materials from the product.
Drain all fuel from the tank into a container approved for
