supply before attaching or removing the vacuum tube. The vacuum tube and | |
collection bag must be assembled to the housing before use in vacuum mode. | |
• Position the vacuum tube slightly above | H |
the debris/leaves. Turn the unit on, then | |
using a side to side sweeping motion the |
|
debris/leaves will be sucked up the tube, |
|
mulched and deposited into the collection |
|
bag (figure H) . |
|
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE THE |
|
COLLECTION BAG WITHOUT FIRST TURNING OFF |
|
AND UNPLUGGING THE VACUUM. |

As the bag fills the power of the suction will |
|
decrease. To empty collection bag, switch off the |
|
vacuum and and disconnect tool from the power |
|
supply. Remove the collection bag from the power head, unzip the collection | |
bag to empty. | |

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND STORAGE
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE TOOL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN.
CAUTION: TURN OFF UNIT AND DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SUPPLY.
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. 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 using a wooden stick as shown in figure I after disconnecting from the power source. Your Blower/Vac should be stored in a dry place.
Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts.
