8 BEFORE USE

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.

9 ASSEMBLY

You new blower vac requires very little assembly work before it is ready for use.

ATTENTION ! The 2 supplied tube parts have to be mounted otherwise the machine will NOT work ! (build in safety switch !)

9.1 safety switch

Your blow-vac has a build in safety switch that prevents the machine from being started in case the supplied tubes are not mounted.

9.2 Shoulder strap:

The shoulder strap will be supplied inside the leaf bag. Take the shoulder strap out of the leaf bag, open the snap fastener, thread the strap through the metal clip on the top of the motor casing and then close the snap fastener. To adjust the shoulder strap to the required length, simply slide the adjustable strap buckle forward or backwards.

9.3 Leaf bag.

To secure the leaf bag to the machine, simply attach the buckle to the top tube section and pull the expanding bag opening over the leaf discharge point on the bottom of the motor casing. Then tighten the securing belt.

Page 6

POWXG4035 EN

To switch the machine from blower mode to vacuum mode, simply switch it off at the main switch and move the function selector lever to the other position.

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 machine, check this function and remove the blockage.

10 OPERATION

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 machine not performing to its peak or the motor overheating.

10.1 Switching ON/OFF

To switch on the blow/vac push in the on/off trigger switch (9). And hold to switch off the machine, release the on/off trigger switch.

10.2 Speed regulation

You can vary the speed by turning the switch (10) from 1 (low speed) to 6 (high speed)

10.3 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 machine’s

weight rests on the rollers. When using the blower vac to pick up leaves it is best to move the machine on the 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 machine damage that is not covered by the warranty, do not use it to pick up branches, stones or other hard materials. When using the machine 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 machine will be more effective if you keep it at a certain distance away from the leaves and blow the leaves forwards.

10.4 Switching operating mode

10.5 Leaf bag

Note: Before you remove and empty the leaf bag ensure that the machine has been disconnected from the mains power supply.
