Safety Rules and Instructions: Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electri- cian to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
Before Operating
Switch
On/Off Switch (Fig. 1)
For extra control, your blow vac is fitted with a two speed switch located on the handle of the powerhead.
The switch has a central off. Position 0.
To use in low speed, move the switch fully to the rear. Position I.
To change to high speed push the switch back to the off position and then fully forward. Position II. NOTE: The switch will not operate if the release button, shown in Figure 1, is depressed.
To turn the tool ON, slide the switch forward, as shown in Figure 1. To turn tool OFF, slide switch to the middle position.
Assembly
USE AS A BLOWER: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, WEAR A FILTER MASK IF THE OPERATION IS DUSTY. USE OF RUBBER GLOVES AND SUBSTANTIAL FOOTWEAR IS RECOMMENDED WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
WARNING: Cut Hazard. When turning the tool off for tube installation or any other reason, wait 10 seconds for the fan to stop rotating before disassembly.
Vacuum Tube Assembly (Fig. 2)
•Vacuum tubes must be assembled together before use.
•To ease assembly apply soapy water solution to joint area.
•Align the notches and the triangles on upper and lower tubes. (Fig. 2)
•Push the lower tube firmly into the upper tube, until the triangles click into place. (Never operate apart).
•In the interests of safety, it is not intended for the tubes to be separated once assembled.
Blow Tube Assembly (Fig. 3)
•Blow tube must be assembled to the blow clamshell before use.
•Align the circles on the clamshell and the tube.
•Push the tube firmly onto the clamshell until the circles click into place.
Cord Retainer (Fig. 4,5)
•A cord retainer is incorporated into the rear of the power head.
•To use, first tie the two cords in a knot as shown in figure (4).
•Then, double the extension cord several inches from the end and hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the retainer post as shown in figure (5).
•Gently tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in the Blowvac's handle.
Blow Mode (Fig. 6)
•Ensure your product is switched off and disconnected from the main power supply.
•Attach the blow clamshell and tube to the powerhead (Fig. 6) by locating the blower as indicated by arrow, then pivot about this point until the locking/release catch is fully engaged.
•Hold the blow tube approximately (7”) 180mm above the ground, switch your product on and using a sweeping motion from side to side, advance slowly keeping the accumulated debris/leaves in front of you (Fig. 7).
•Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
•Installing the concentrator will help remove matted debris and leaves (Fig. 8).
Removing Blow/Vacuum Tube
•Switch off your product and disconnect from power supply.
•To disconnect the blow clamshell or vacuum tube from the powerhead, depress the release button, ensuring the tube does not fall to the ground.
•The release button will not depress if the power switch is in the “on” position. (Fig. 1)
Vacuum Mode
•Switch off your product and disconnect from power supply. To fit the bag assembly to your product:
Attach the collection bag to the vacuum outlet using the bayonet fitting, as shown in Figure 9.
•Attach the vacuum assembly and tube to the powerhead (Fig. 10) by locating the assembly as indicated by arrow, then pivot about this point until the locking/release catch is fully engaged.
•Position the tube slightly above the debris/leaves. Switch your product on, then using a sweeping motion the debris/leaves will be sucked up the tube, mulched and deposited into the collection bag. (Fig 11)
For matted debris/leaves your vacuum tube is incorporated with a scraper. Use this scraper to loosen the debris and continue to vacuum as normal.
As the bag fills the power of the suction will decrease, switch off your product and unplug from power supply. Unzip the bag to empty before continuing to operate.
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE THE COLLECTION BAG WITHOUT FIRST TURNING OFF AND UNPLUGGING THE VACUUM.
NOTE: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full, the vacuum tube is probably clogged with debris. Turn off and unplug the vacuum and clear the tube before continuing.
Operation
•When using as a blower or vacuum, always wear safety glasses. If using in dusty conditions, wear a filter mask as well.
•Do not use in vacuum mode without the vacuum tubes and collection bag in place.
•Always switch off and remove the plug from the electrical supply when:
•Changing from blower to vacuum.
•The supply cable has become damaged or entangled.
•You leave your product unattended.
•Clearing a blockage.
•Checking, adjusting, cleaning or working on your product.
•Use your product only in daylight or good artificial light.
Maintenance
•CLEANING AND STORAGE
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL! (Unplug extension cord at power source.)
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Clean out any clippings which may have accumulated in the Blower/Vac. When used properly with dry leaves the fan chamber of your Blower/Vac should remain clean. If damp earth and debris are ingested some of the particles may build up on the inside of the fan chamber. If this happens the performance of the unit will decrease. This area can be cleaned out by gently wiping out with a damp rag
after disconnecting from the power source. Your Blower/Vac should be stored in a dry place.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE TOOL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN.
Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
