WARNING!
Disconnect the extension cord before
performing any maintenance task.
If the extension cord is plugged into the appliance, someone
could accidentally turn on the unit while you are performing
maintenance on it, which could result in serious personal injury.
Cleaning the Unit
1.
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not
use strong detergents, household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils (e.g. pine and lemon) or harsh solvents such
as kerosene as these substances can damage the plastic
housing or the handles. Wipe off any moisture with a soft,
dry cloth.
2.
Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and
obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of
the unit.
3.
Wear eye protection and a dust mask. Clean the bag as
needed. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying and
vigorously shake out dust and debris.
4.
After removing the collection bag, ensure that any
possible dirt residues are removed from the air outlet area.

the steps below:

Clearing a Blocked Tube/Impeller
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the
unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the impeller.
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or
other sharp objects.
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as
cloth, rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan and
block the motor. You will notice a power drop or intermittent
operation when using the unit.
In the event an obstruction occurs and power is curtailed:
1.
Slide the ON/OFF switch down to the OFF (O) position
until the unit comes to a complete stop.
2.
Unplug the unit.
3.
Remove the tubes and the bag.
4.
Using protective gloves, carefully remove the material
blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect the blades to ensure
no damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by
hand to ensure the blockage is completely cleared.
5.
Reinstall the blower tube or vacuum/mulcher tubes and
the bag.
6.
Wait 3 minutes for the motor to cool.
7.
Plug the unit back into the power supply and turn the ON/
OFF switch to ON (I). The blower vac will resume normal
operation.
