WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
ear defenders, goggles or safety glasses at all times when
operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty
locations.
Basic Vacuum/Mulcher Procedure
• Make sure the vacuum is stable and all 4 wheels are in
contact with the ground.
NOTE:
The unit will not start if any of the rear wheels are
not touching the ground.
• Always stand behind the unit. Do not turn on the unit when
people are kneeling or sitting next to it.
• With a firm hold on the handle grip, move the unit slowly
and steadily to place the air inlet over the debris to be
vacuumed. The debris will flow into the bag. Items such
as small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass
through the impeller. For longer bag life and increased
performance, empty the bag frequently.
• During operation, do not press down on the handle grip to
tilt the front of the vacuum. If tilted more than 15 degrees,
the machine will shut off and won't operate (Fig. 12).
•
During operation, keep the ventilation slots unblocked.
Blocked ventilation slots will cause the machine to overheat.
•
When the bag is full, the suction power of the tool will
decrease. Release the On/Off switch
and remove the
batteries. Push the releasing tab and pull the bag off
the unit by the handle at the same time to release the
collection bag (Fig. 13).
• To empty the bag, hold the plastic handle and unzip both
zippers of the bag. Shake out any debris and leaves.
NOTE:
This unit is equipped with dust filtration capability
which separates the accumulated mulch from the fine
dust. For optimal performance, it is recommended to
empty both compartments everytime after using.
m
WARNING!
To prevent serious personal injury, make
sure the switch is not squeezed, the batteries are removed and
the impeller has come to a complete stop before attaching or
removing the collection bag.

WARNING!
Remove the batteries before performing
any maintenance task.
If the batteries are inside the appliance, someone could
accidentally turn on the unit while you are performing
maintenance on it, which could result in serious personal injury.
Clearing The Blocked Inlet/Outlet
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as cloth,
rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct and block the air
inlet/outlet. An overcurrent protection device, which is built
into the vacuum, will cut off the power to the motor to prevent
damage from overheating. When this happens, follow the
instructions below to clean the blocked air inlet/outlet.
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the
unit is OFF and batteries are removed before clearing the air inlet.
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
wear gloves to protect yourself from any sharp objects.
1.
Release the On/Off switch and wait until the unit comes to
a complete stop.
2. Remove the batteries
3. Remove the collection bag.
4. Turn the machine sideways to expose the air inlet. Wearing
protective gloves, carefully reach and remove the material
blocking the chute from the air inlet. Inspect to ensure no
damage has occurred.
