2.Place the vacuum bag strap over your head and onto your left shoulder.

3.Extend your right arm toward the rear of the vacuum bag. Adjust the vacuum bag strap until the vacuum bag/shoulder strap seam lies between your thumb and index finger.

4.Make sure the vacuum bag strap is adjusted to allow a free flow of air from the vacuum bag elbow tube (Fig. 19). If the bag is kinked, the tool will not operate properly.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc., because they could get drawn into the air intake.

Hold the vacuum, tilting the suction tube slightly, and use a sweeping action to collect light debris (Fig. 19). The debris will flow into the vacuum bag. Things such as small leaves and small twigs will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing the vacuum bag to hold a lot of debris.

When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off and unplug the unit before you unzip the bag. Unzip the bag and empty the contents before continuing.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, never unzip the vacuum bag without first turning off and unplugging the unit.

WARNING: As a vacuum, the unit is designed to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs and bits of paper. To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to vacuum wet debris and/or standing water as this may result in damage to the Blower/ Vacuum and possible electric shock. To avoid severe damage to the impeller, do not vacuum metal, broken glass, etc.

WARNING: When the upper and lower vacuum tubes are removed, make sure the vacuum door is snapped closed before plugging in the unit, to avoid injury from the impeller.
