Use/Operation

▪ The easiest way to use the blower/vac is to
place the shoulder strap in a comfortable
position over your shoulder and hold the
rear handle at hip height so that the
majority of the tool's weight rests on the
rollers.
▪ When using the blower/vac to pick up
leaves it is best to move the tool on its
rollers. This ensures that the blower/vac is
at the perfect height above the ground. The
blower/vac is designed only to pick up
leaves. To avoid any damage to the tool
that is not covered by the warranty, do not
use it to pick up branches, stones or other
hard materials.
▪ When using the tool as a leaf blower
always work away from solid objects such
as walls, fences, etc. Whilst you work do
not place the blower/vac tube too close to
the leaves. The tool will be more effective if
you keep it at a certain distance away from
the leaves and blow the leaves forwards.
