4 blower/vac operation
IMPORTANT: is blower/vac is for household use only.
WARNING: Read and understand this owner’s manual before
operating blower/vac. Make certain you read and understand all
Safety Warnings on pages 1 and
2 of this manual. Improper use
of this blower/vac can result in
severe injury or death from re,
electric shock, or body contact
with moving parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of electric shock, use only with
an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Extension Cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your blower/vac
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
e table below shows the correct size extension cord to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next larger gauge cord. e smaller the
gauge number, the larger the cord. To reduce
the risk of disconnection of blower/vac from
the extension cord during operation, use the
cord hitch described in this manual.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
blower/vac has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord. e
blower/vac’s plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
is plug will fit into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the blower/vac
plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
Inspect cord often. Replace if damaged.
Connecting Extension Cord
WARNING: Fully seat the extension cord on the inlet plug of
blower/vac. Failure to do so could
lead to overheating of blower/
vac. This could cause a re that
results in personal injury to you
or others.
e blower/vac has a built-in extension
cord retainer. is cord hitch prevents accidental disconnection of the power cord
during use. e cord hitch is molded into
the lower rear of the blower/vac housing.
1. Plug extension cord into the inlet plug
of appliance (see Figure 4-1).
2. Create a loop in the extension cord
and insert the loop through the cord
slot of the blower/vac housing (see
Figure 4-2).
3. Pull the loop tight around the molded
cord hitch (see Figure 4-3).

Vacuum Operation
WARNING: The vacuum can
throw debris, causing injury to
those nearby.
• Do not operate vacuum without
the vacuum bag attached or
with the bag zipper opened.
• Do not vacuum nails, glass,
rocks, wire, staples, or other
sharp, pointed, or hard objects.
These items could be thrown
through the cloth bag.
CAUTION: Vacuum only soft
items such as leaves and cut
grass. Hard items such as sticks,
rocks, and acorns will damage the
impeller.
CAUTION: Do not force the
vacuum tube into a pile of debris.
Do not hold the tube upright and
force-feed debris into the tube.
These actions may clog and damage the impeller. If the vacuum
vibrates excessively or makes
abnormal noises, turn vacuum o,
unplug power cord, and check for
clogging. Clear any clogged debris
from the blower/vac.
CAUTION: Normal vacuum
usage causes the vacuum bag to
wear and deteriorate. A worn or
deteriorated bag allows vacuum
to throw debris through the bag,
possibly hitting and injuring the
operator. Check vacuum bag frequently. If it is worn, deteriorated,
or damaged, replace with a genuine vacuum bag.
Properly assemble the blower/vac for
vacuum operation (see page 5, Converting
from Blower to Vacuum). Follow the steps
below to operate the vacuum.
1. Hang vacuum bag from your shoulder
using the attached strap. Hold blower/vac using the handles on housing
and vacuum tube adapter assembly
(see Figure 4-8).
2. When ready to start the vacuum,
toggle the on/off switch to either the
low “I” or high “II” setting (see Figure
4-4).
3. Move end of vacuum tube over soft
debris. Vacuum will pick up debris,
chop it up, and deposit it into vacuum
bag (see Figure 4-9).
4. To stop the vacuum, toggle the on/off
switch to the off “O” setting.

Servicing of
Double-Insulated
Appliances
A double-insulated appliance is marked
with one or more of the following: e
words “DOUBLE INSULATION”
or “DOUBLE INSULATED” or the
double insulation symbol (square within
a square).
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance,
nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
