SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Failure to follow all
Safety Rules and Precautions can result in
serious injury.
KNOW YOUR UNIT
S Read your instruction manual carefully until
you completely understand and can follow all
warnings and safety rules before operating
the unit.
D Restrict unit to users who understand andwill
follow all warnings and safety rules in this
manual.
WARNING: Inspect area before start-
ing unit. Remove all debris and hard objects
such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or
damage during operation.
Use your unit as a blower for:
D Sweeping debris or grass clippings from
driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.
D Blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into
piles, around joints, or between bricks.
Use your unit as a vacuum for:
D Pickingup drymaterialsuchas leaves,grass,
small twigs, and bits of paper.
Use unleaded or quality
leaded petrol and two
stroke oil.
WARNING: The blow er may throw
objects at high v e locity that can
ricochet and hit the operator. Th is
may cause serio us eye damage .
WARNI NG: The muffler is very
hot during and after use. D o not
touch the muffler, muffler guard, or
surrounding surfaces, or allow
combustible materi al such a s dry

Thebloweroperatormustmakesure
that no by standers or animal s come
nearer than 15 meters.
Whenever several operators are
working in the same work area , they
should maintain a safe distance of at
least 15 meters from one another.
Sound pressure
level at 7,5 meters
D For best results during vacuum use, operate
your unit at high speed.
D Move slowly back and forth over the material
as you vacuum. Avoid forcing the unit into a
pile of debris as this can clog the unit.
D Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above
the grou n dfo rbe stresu l t s.
PLAN AHEAD
D Always wear eye and ear protection when
operating, servicing, or performing
maintenance on unit. Wearing eye protection
will help to prevent rocks or debris from being

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
D Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame
(including smoking, open flames, or work that
can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is
mixed, poured, or stored.
D Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area; store
fuel ina cool, dry,well ventilated place; usean
approved, marked container for all fuel

D Always store petrol in a container approved
for flammable liquids.
OPERATEYOUR UNIT SAFELY
WARNING: Stop the engine before
opening the vacuum inlet door. The engine
must be stopped and the impeller blades no
longer turningto avoid serious injury from the
rotating blades.
D Inspect unit before each use for worn, loose,
missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until
unit is in proper working order.
D Keep outside surfaces free of oil and fuel.
D Never start or run engine inside a closed
room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
D Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get
very hot during use and remain so for some
time after stopping. This also applies at idle
speed. Contact can result inburns to theskin.
Remember the risk of fire!
D To avoid static electricity shock, do not wear
rubber gloves or any other insulated gloves
while operating unit.
D Do notsetunit onany surface exceptaclean,
hard area while engine is running. Debris
such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could
be picked up by the air intake and thrown out
through discharge opening, damaging unit,
property, or causing serious injury to
bystanders or operator.
D Avoid dangerous environments. Do notusein
unventilated areas orwhereexplosive vapors
or carbon monoxide build up could be
present.
D Do not overreach or use from unstable
surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep
slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing and
balance at all times.
D Never place objects inside the blower tubes;
always direct the blowing debris away from
people, animals,glass, andsolid objects such
as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of
air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be
thrown ortoricochet which can hurt peopleor
animals, breakglass, orcause otherdamage.
D Never run unit without the proper equipment
attached. When using your unit as a blower,
always install blower tubes. When using your
unit as a vacuum, always install vacuum
tubes and vacuum bag assembly. Make sure
vacuum bag assembly is completely zipped.
D Check air intake opening, blower tubes,
vacuum tubes, and elbow tube frequently,
always with engine stopped and spark plug
disconnected. Keep vents and discharge
tubes free of debris which can accumulate
and restrict proper air flow.
D Never place any object in the air intake
opening as this could restrict proper air flow
and cause damage to the unit.
D Neveruseforspreadingchemicals, fertilizers,
or other substances which may contain toxic
materials.
D Toavoid spreading fire,donot use nearleafor
brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc.
D Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
MAINTAIN YOUR UNIT PROPERLY
D Have all maintenance other than the
recommended procedures described in the
instruction manual performed by an
authorized service dealer.
D Disconnect spark plug before performing
maintenance except for carburetor
adjustments.
D Use only recommended McCulloch
replacement parts; use of any other parts
mayvoidyour warranty and cause damageto
your unit.
D Empty fuel tank before storing the unit. Use
upfuelleftincarburetor by starting engineand
letting it run until it stops.
D Do not use any accessory or attachment
other than those recommended by
manufacturer for use with your unit.
D Do not store the unit or fuel in a closed area

OPERATING TIPS
S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold
the unit with the muffler side facing away
from yourbodyand clothes (seeOPERATING POSITION).
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments. Do
not operate without guard(s) in place.
S Operate power equipment only atreasonable
hours- -not early in the morning or late at night
when peoplem ightbe disturbed. Comply with
times listed in localordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
S Use rakes andbrooms toloosendebris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces orusea mister attachment whenwater is available.
S 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.
S Watchoutforchildren, pets,open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use thefullblower nozzleextension sothe
air stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
Hearing Protection
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you
begin. If you do not understand the safety
rules, donot attemptto fuelyour unit. Contact
an authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded petrol. Before operation, petrol
must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil. We recommend
McCulloch brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1
(2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5
liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil.
When mixing fuel, follow the instructions
printed on the container. Always read and
followthesafety rulesbeforefueling yourunit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol)canattract moisturewhichleads to
separation andformation ofacids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of anengine whilein storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuelsystem beforestorage for30days or longer.Drainthe gas tank,
start theengine andlet itrun untilthefuellines
andcarburetor areempty. Usefreshfuelnext
season. Never use engine or carburetor
cleanerproductsinthe fueltank orpermanent
damage may occur.
HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE
S Release the throttle trigger.
S Push and hold the STOP switch in the
STOP position until the engine stops.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING: YouMUSTmakesurethe
tubes are secure before using the unit.
D Fuel engine. Move at least 3 meters away
from the fueling site.
