Never use the product when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch is in the Off position before plugging in the product to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in product with your finger on the switch.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. Thereis an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose this product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the product will increase the risk of electric shock.
lectrical power should be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Before every use, examine the power cord for damage. If there are signs of damage, it must be replaced by an authorised service centre. Always uncoil the power cord during use; coiled cables can overheat.
If you need to use an extension cord ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity rating sufficient to supply your tool. The extension cord cable should be marked with either “H05 RN F” or “H05 VV F”. Check the extension cord before
every use for damage. Always uncoil the extension cord during use because coiled cords can overheat. Damaged extension cords should not be repaired, they should be replaced with an equivalent type.
Make sure the power cord is positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Never pick up or carry the product by the electric cable.
Never pull by the power cord to disconnect from the power supply.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from the product.
Make sure voltage is correct for your product. A nameplate on the product indicates the unit’s voltage. Never connect the product to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
Make sure the switch is in Off position before disconnecting from power supply.

PREPARATION

Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product to some operations. Check with your local authority for advice.
While operating the product always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the product when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties; they can be caught in moving parts.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be drawn into the air inlet.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
Wear hearing protection at all times while operating the product. This product is extremely noisy and permanent hearing injury may result if precautions to limit your exposure, reduce noise and wear hearing protection are not strictly adhered to.
Wear full eye protection at all times while operating this product. The manufacturer strongly suggests a full face mask or fully enclosed goggles. Normal spectacles or sun glasses are not adequate protection. Objects can be thrown at high speed by the powerful air jet at any time and may rebound from hard surfaces toward the operator.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function correctly. Do not use the tool if the “off” switch does not stop the product.
Before each use, always inspect to see that bolts and other fasteners are secure (if applicable), the housing is undamaged, and the guards and handles are properly in place.
Return to an authorised service centre to replace damaged or unreadable labels.
Never operate the product with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example debris collector, in place.
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing/vacuuming.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be blown a considerable distance by high velocity air.
Operate the product on a firm, level surface only.

WARNING
Before using the product in vacuum mode you must assemble the upper and lower vacuum tubes together as shown on page 7. This is a one-time operation only. Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum tube fi tted. The risk of personal
injury is signifi cantly increased if you fail to follow this warning.

OPERATION

If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the power supply immediately. Do not touch the cord before disconnecting the power supply. Do not use the product if the cord is damaged or worn.
Operate the product only at reasonable hours – not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed.
Never operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid using the product in bad weather conditions especially when there is a risk of lightning.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the working area.
Do not get distracted and always concentrate on what you are doing. Think about and consider the effect of your tions carefully.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to enter your working area.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes. Walk, never run.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part. Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Stop the product and ensure impeller blades have stopped rotating before opening the fan cover, installing or changing tubes, opening or removing debris bag.
Never run the product without the proper equipment attached. When used as a blower, always install the blower tubes and close the fan cover. When used as a vacuum, always install the vacuum tubes and vacuum bag.
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories which are not recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, always stop the product, disconnect from the mains, and make sure all moving parts have come to a stop:
before cleaning or clearing a blockage
when leaving the product unattended
before installing or removing attachments
before checking, maintaining, or working on the product
to inspect the product for damage after striking a foreign object
if the product starts to vibrate abnormally (inspect immediately

WARNING
Your blower/vacuum may be supplied with a harness. Carefully adjust the harness to comfortably help to support the weight of the product. Identify the quick release mechanism and practice using it before you start using the product. Its correct use may prevent serious injury in the case of an emergency. Never wear additional clothing over the harness or otherwise restrict access to the quick release mechanism.

BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes.
Do not operate the product near open windows, etc.
Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground. o not place the blower on top of or near loose debris. Debris may be sucked into the intake vent resulting in possible damage to the product.

VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum tube fi tted. The risk of personal injury is signifi cantly increased if you fail to follow this warning.

Do not operate the vacuum without the vacuum bag assembly installed; flying debris could cause serious injury. Make sure the vacuum bag is completely zipped or closed before operating.
Move the vacuum from side to side along the outer edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum tube directly into the debris pile
Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of the vacuum tube.
Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on a hillside.
To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the product, do not try to vacuum up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or other similar objects.
Avoid situations that could cause fire in the vacuum bag. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, etc. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Stop the product, disconnect from the mains, and allow it to cool before storing or transporting.

For transportation, secure the product against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the produc

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor performance and may void your warranty.
WARNING
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualifi ed service technician. For service we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorised service centre for repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

You may make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, contact the authorised service agent.
After each use, clean the product with a soft dry cloth.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure the product is in safe working condition. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Never attempt to override the interlocked feature of the guard.

`RESIDUAL` RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles and restrict working time and exposure.
Hearing damage caused by exposure to noise. Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
Injury from flying objects from the blow tube airflow or vacuum exhaust if the bag is not fitted or damaged. Wear adequate eye protection at all times.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the product wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms othis condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor.

WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
