Preparing of the blower vac prior to use
Warning!
The Vac-Blower must not be used or switched on
until it has been fully assembled.
Assembly
Intake/ Air outlet tube (Pic.2 and 3)
Press the button (2.1) and slide the air duct (2.2), the air
duct can be adjusted based on user height, adjust the
height up to 300 mm maximum, 30 mm is a height.
Fitting the debris collection bag (Pic.4 and 5)
Before fitting the debris collection bag ensure that the
Vacuum/Blow selector lever operates smoothly and that it
is not obstructed by debris from the previous use.
When users install the collection bag: turn the support
(4.1) frame into the correct position of housing and make
sure the support (4.2) lock in holding fixture (4.3).
When users dismantle the collection bag: press the
interlock (5.1) to release, if the support has been re-
leased, the user must carry the bag's weight alone.
Attention: switch off the vacuum until at the handle
and pull the plug firstly.
Fitting the shoulder harness (Pic.6)
The Vacuum-Blower is provided with a shoulder harness
(6.1) this is attached to the top of the main body of the
Vacuum-Blower as shown (6.2). The shoulder harness
is provided to reduce fatigue and aid comfort when us-
ing the Vacuum-Blower. Never carry the belt diagonally
over shoulder and chest. Wear the strap only on one
shoulder, in this way you can remove the device in case
of danger fast.
Before Starting (Pic.7)
Connect the mains cable with the tool's plug and secure
it with the strain relief bracket (7.1) as shown in Fig 7.
Only connect the device to a power source that is pro-
tected via a residual current protective device (RCD) with
a maximum release current of 30 mA.
Operation
Note: The Vacuum-Blower can be started only with
mounted collection bag!
Starting the Vacuum-Blower (Pic. 8, 9 and 10)
To start the Vacuum-Blower ensure that the intermediate
suction/blower tube is fitted correctly.
Warning! Before selecting either the Vacuum or Blow
function ensure that the selector lever operates smoothly
and that it is not obstructed by debris from the previous
use. Select either the Vacuum or Blow function using the
selector lever on the side of the machine (8.1) and press
the switch button (9.1). If more power is required slide the
speed controller (10.1) from position "1" to position "Max".
Stopping the Vacuum- Blower (Pic.11)
To turn off the machine you can simply release the switch
(11.1).
Using the Vacuum-Blower
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves
etc, to dry out before using the Vacuum Blower. The
Vacuum-Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders. It will also
pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood chippings.
When the using the Vacuum Blower in Vacuum mode
the debris is sucked up the suction tube before being
ejected into the debris collection bag, as the debris
passes through the suction fan it is partially shredded.
The shredded organic debris is ideal to use as mulch
around plants.
Warning! Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans
glass etc, will damage the suction fan.
Important
Do not use the Vacuum-Blower to suck up water
or very wet debris.
Never operate the Vacuum-Blower without the
debris collection bag fitted.
Blower mode
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove
any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the blow function using the selector lever on the
side of the machine and switch on. With the Vacuum-
Blower resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-Blower
forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and
swing the machine from side to side, moving forwards
and directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow
the debris into a convenient heap then use the vacuum
function to collect the debris.
Vacuum mode
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove
any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the vacuum function using the selector lever on
the side of the machine and switch on. With the Vacuum-
Blower resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-Blower
forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be col-
lected. Alternatively with the Vacuum-Blower held just
above the ground swing the machine from side to side,
moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the debris to
be collected. Do not force the nozzle into the debris as
this will block the suction tube and reduce the efficiency
of the machine.
Organic materials such as leaves contain a large amount
of water that can cause them to stick to the inside of the
suction tube. To reduce sticking the material should be
left for a few days to dry out.

Cleaning and Storage

Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and
that the guards are fitted correctly.
All damaged and worn parts should be replaced in
order to maintain the Vacuum-Blower in a safe working
condition.
