mWARNING! To prevent serious personal injury or

damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube or the mulcher tubes and the bag are in place before operating the unit.

Air Vents

Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor cooling.

mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, do not

wear loose tting clothing or articles such as scarves, strings,

chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air vents. To make sure long hair does not get drawn into the air vents, tie back long hair.

Blower Mode

• Hold the blower rmly with one hand on the main handle

and the other hand on the auxiliary handle. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the

ground or oor (Fig. 13).

• Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are

better suited to low speeds rather than high speeds. High speed blowing is best for moving heavier items like large debris or gravel.

Vacuum/Mulcher Mode

• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you

can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.

• With a rm hold on the vac, tilt the mulcher tubes 2 – 4 in. (5 – 10 cm) from the ground and use a sweeping

action to collect light debris. The debris will ow into the

bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased performance, empty the bag frequently (Fig. 14).

• As the bag lls, suction power will decrease. When this

happens, turn the power switch to the OFF (O) position and unplug the unit from the power supply. Remove the bag and empty the debris.

• To remove the bag, press the tube release button (Fig. 8). To empty, hold the plastic handle and grab the nylon handle on the underside of the bag. Turn the bag upside down and shake out any debris and leaves.

mWARNING! Never remove the collection bag without
