Blower Mode
m
WARNING!
Before operating with the blower/vac
mode selector, make sure that the selector lever moves
smoothly and is not obstructed by debris from previous use.
• To use the unit in the blower mode, turn the blower/vac
mode selector switch to BLOWING MODE. Turn unit on
(Fig. 15).
• Hold the blower firmly with one hand on the main handle
and the other hand on the front handle. Sweep from side
to side with the wheels on ground.
• Slowly advance the unit by the wheel, 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
m
WARNING!
Any hard objects, such as stones, cans
and glass, will damage the impeller.
m
WARNING!
Do not use the unit to suck up water or
very wet debris.
m
WARNING!
Never operate the unit in vacuum/mulcher
mode without the collection bag being assembled on.
• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
• Ensure the collection bag are assembled correctly before
operating. Turn the blower/vac mode selector switch to
VACUUM MODE. Turn unit on (Fig. 16).
• With a firm hold on the vac, tilt the tubes 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 increased
performance, empty the bag frequently.
m
WARNING!
Switch off the tool and disconnect the plug,
and wait until the impeller comes to a standstill before dumping
the collection bag.
•
Open the zipper of the collection bag and empty it
completely (Fig. 17).
•
Compost material does not belong with domestic waste.
•
Regularly empty collection bag (the vacuum capacity
decreases considerably when the collection bag is full).
m
WARNING!
Do not vacuum solid objects such as
stones, broken glass, pieces of metal.
m
WARNING!
Do not vacuum liquids.
m
WARNING!
Do not vacuum large volumes of leaf
material at one time thus avoiding clogging of the vacuuming
opening and blocking of the mulcher impeller.
