BEFORE USE
• Ensure you are wearing suitable clothing, footwear and safety equipment, e.g.
safety glasses, ear protection and face mask if necessary.
• Ensure the attachments to the leaf blower vac are correctly fitted and adjusted.
• Be aware of people and animals in the area where you are to be operating the
leaf blower vac.
• Check the item for damage before use. Do NOT use if any part is damaged.
• Periodically check all fixings are secure and tighten if necessary.
OPERATION
• Plug the power cord into an RCD unit (not supplied) and switch on.
• To start the leaf blower vac, ensure the leaf blower vac nozzle is pointed in a
safe direction, select the desired operation (E) by moving the blower/vacuum
selector lever (11) to either blower or vacuum position and depress the trigger

Trigger switch
• To turn the leaf blower vac off, simply release the trigger switch.
• After releasing the trigger switch to turn the leaf blower off, switch off at the
mains and remove plug from RCD socket.
• When the blower operation is selected, air is drawn up through the large tube
and then expelled at a much higher velocity in the lower cavity below the tube.
Ensure when the blower operation is selected the leaf blower vac is directed
and used in a safe manner.
• When the vacuum operation is selected, air and debris are drawn up through
the large vac tube, and forced through the mulching impellor. The debris is
shredded and then passed into the collection bag.
• To empty the collection bag, simply open the zip and empty the contents.
Ensure the zip is closed prior to operating the leaf blower vac.
• For better performance and comfort, it is recommended the collection bag is
emptied when approximately half full. This reduces the weight and also allows
the leaf blower vac operation to perform at its highest level.
• Always vacuum dry leaves, cuttings or general garden debris. Wet materials are
difficult to mulch and also can cause the leaf blower vac to clog.
• If the leaves, etc. are damp, then use the leaf blower vac to blow the leaves
etc. into one area, and vacuum the leaves when they are dry.
WARNING

and/or serious injury.

very little resistance. If the lever is difficult to move, disconnect the power
supply, remove the collection bag and ensure any debris, dirt or mud has been
removed from around the lever.
• When selecting either functions, ensure the selector lever is correctly located in
one position or the other.
