VACUUM BAG
As with all similar bags, the material becomes clogged with fi ne particles during use and the
operating effi ciency of the machine will deteriorate without simple routine maintenance.
It is good practice to unclog the bag by shaking it after each use to ensure the bag material is
able to filter correctly. Where a bag is clogged with damp particles, it should be allowed to dry
before dusting.
The Vac bag may be cleaned by using a garden hose. Always hose the bag from the outside.
The bag may be turned inside out to assist this. Never store a damp bag. Always ensure the bag
is completely dry before storage or use.
The vacuum bag is a consumable item. It is subject to high degrees of wear and tear and as

that causes the bag to drag on the ground.
Twigs and long material may cause a blockage in the v a c u u m inlet on the underside of your
Vac & Blow. If this occurs try giving the machine a gentle shake while it is still running. If this
is not successful, switch your Vac & Blow off and unplug the cord at the power outlet.
Clear the blockage using a stick or similar long thin object (never use a metal object).
To prevent a recurrence when vacuuming this type of material, it may be necessary to move
your Vac & Blow more slowly over the debris to be picked up.

Vac & Blow is running. Rotating the switch several times while air is flowing in the appliance
should clear the blockage. Make sure you are clear of the blow outlet while operating the switch.
