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) .

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. Re-assemble before continuing to operate.

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.
