WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
ear defenders, goggles or safety glasses at all times when
operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty
locations.
Basic Vacuum/Mulcher Procedure
• Make sure the vacuum is stable and all 4 wheels are in
contact with the ground.
NOTE: The unit will not start if any of the rear wheels are
not touching the ground.
• Always stand behind the unit. Do not turn on the unit when
people are kneeling or sitting next to it.
• With a firm hold on the handle grip, move the unit slowly
and steadily to place the air inlet over the debris to be
vacuumed. The debris will flow into the bag. Items such
as small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass
through the impeller. For longer bag life and increased
performance, empty the bag frequently.
• During operation, do not press down on the handle grip to
tilt the front of the vacuum. If tilted more than 15 degrees,
the machine will shut off and won't operate (Fig. 11).

• During operation, keep the ventilation slots unblocked.
Blocked ventilation slots will cause the machine to overheat.
• When the bag is full, the suction power of the tool will
decrease. Release the On/Off switch and remove the
batteries. Push the releasing tab and pull the bag off
the unit by the handle at the same time to release the
collection bag (Fig. 12).

• To empty the bag, hold the plastic handle and unzip both
zippers of the bag. Shake out any debris and leaves.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with dust filtration capability
which separates the accumulated mulch from the fine
dust. For optimal performance, it is recommended to
empty both compartments everytime after using.

WARNING!
To prevent serious personal injury, make
sure the switch is not squeezed, the batteries are removed and
the impeller has come to a complete stop before attaching or
