8 OPERATION
8.1 Steps prior to operation
Only operate the device after completely assembling it. Prior to each use, check the power
cord for signs of damage. Under no circumstances should the power cord be used if it shows
any signs of damage.
Ensure that the blower vac is only connected to conventional sockets with a 240V alternating
current supply. Only use extension cables if they are really necessary. The use of extension
cables may cause a drop in voltage, which will result in the tool not performing to its peak or
the motor overheating.
8.2 Switching ON/OFF
Slide the On/Off switch(9) from OFF to ON position to start machine.
To stop the machine simply slide the On / Off switch(9) to position OFF.
8.3 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 l 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.
8.4 Switching operating mode (Fig 4)
To switch the tool from blower mode to vacuum mode, simply switch it off at the main
switch and move the function selector lever to the other position.

Note: Before you remove and empty the leaf bag ensure that the tool has
been disconnected from the mains power supply.
To empty the leaf bag simply open the zip fastener, empty the bag and then close the zip
fastener again
When the leaf bag is open you can also
check the function of the blower vac’s slide control.
If there is a blockage in the tool, check this function and remove the blockage.
