Operating Tips

WARNING! Use the blower + vacuum + mulcher only in daylight or good artificial light.

• When using the blower vac, plant your feet firmly on the ground and place one hand on the unit handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle.
• Wear personal protective equipment during your work session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• When using the unit as mulcher, make sure the bag is properly installed and zipped closed.
• Make sure the blower tube nozzle is not directed at anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure the tubes and guards are in place and secure.
• Ensure that the vacuum + mulcher inlet cover is completely closed and locked.
• Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear handle or grips.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a mulcher.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours–not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of power equipment used at any one time and operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed setting necessary to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and gardens.
• Blow debris into a safe, open area away from children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars.
• Clean up after using leaf blowers and other lawn equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.

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.

WARNING! To prevent serious personal injury or damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube or the mulcher tubes and the bag are in place before operating the unit.

Air Vents

Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor cooling.

WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air vents. To make sure long hair does not get drawn into the air vents, tie back long hair.

Blower Mode

• Hold the blower firmly with one hand on the main handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor (Fig. 13).

• Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speeds rather than high speeds. High speed blowing is best for moving heavier items like large debris or gravel.

Vacuum + Mulcher Mode

• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
• With a firm hold on the vac, tilt the mulcher tubes 2 in – 4 in. (5 cm – 10 cm) from the ground and use a sweeping action to collect light debris. The debris will flow into the bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased performance, empty the bag frequently (Fig. 14).

• As the bag fills, suction power will decrease. When this happens, turn the power switch to the OFF (O) position and unplug the unit from the power supply. Remove the bag and empty the debris.
• To remove the bag, press the tube release button (Fig. 8). To empty, hold the plastic handle and grab the nylon handle on the underside of the bag. Turn the bag upside down and shake out any debris and leaves.

WARNING! Never remove the collection bag without first turning the power switch to the OFF (O) position and unplugging the unit from the main power source.

WARNING! Do not use in vacuum + mulcher mode without the vacuum tubes and collection bag in place.

Clearing a Blocked Tube/Impeller

WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the impeller.

WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, always wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or other sharp objects.

During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as cloth, rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan and block the motor. A thermal protection device, which is built into the blower vac, will cut off the electricity to the motor to prevent damage from overheating.

In the event an obstruction occurs and power is curtailed:

1. Slide the ON/OFF switch down to the OFF (O) position until the unit comes to a complete stop.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the blower tube or vacuum + mulcher tubes and the bag.
4. Using protective gloves, carefully remove the material blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect the blades to ensure no damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by hand to ensure the blockage is completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the blower tube or vacuum + mulcher tubes and the bag.
6. Wait 3 minutes for the motor to cool.
7. Plug the unit back into the power supply and turn the ON/ OFF switch to ON (I). The blower vac will resume normal function.
