IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
WARNING: Read all instructions.
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints;
● Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products and
● Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use
appliances in damp or wet locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
8) WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of appliance cord from the extension cord
during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1;
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
12) Don’t Force Appliance - It will do the job
better, and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury, at the rate for which it was designed.
13) Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
14) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
15) Disconnect Appliance - Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply when not
in use, before servicing, when changing
accessories such as blades, and the like.
16)Store Idle Appliances Indoors - When not in
use, appliances should be stored indoors in
Blower/Vac/Mulcher EN
8
dry, and high or locked-up place - out of
reach of children.
17)Maintain Appliance With Care - Keep
cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of
injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect
appliance cord periodically, and if
damaged, have it repaired by an authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
18)Check Damaged Parts - Before further use
of the appliance, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other condition that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

1) REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement

2) POLARIZED APPLIANCE
CONNECTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will require the use
of a polarized extension cord. The appliance
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. This 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 equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord
plug in any way.

(See Fig. G1-G2)
This machine is equipped with a Leaf
Collection Bag, which is designed for
collecting leaves and debris. Attach the Leaf
Collection Bag as show in Fig. G1 –Align Leaf
Collection Bag collar slots with the locking
pins on the Motor Housing. Push the collar up
into position then rotate the Leaf Collection
Bag housing counter-clockwise –ensure the
Leaf Collection Bag is locked into position and
fully secured.
NOTE: The size of the locking pins on the
Motor Housing is different, when assembling
the Leaf Collection Bag, please align the bag
collar slots with the corresponding locking
pins.
OPERATION
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider
than the other), UL listed (CSA certified in
Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a
polarized cord only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord and
try again. If it still does not fit then you are
not using a proper extension cord and you
should purchase a polarized extension cord.
Never attempt to force fit an extension cord or
change the cord’s design to make it fit better.
Extension Cord
Length
Minimum Wire
Gage (A.W.G.)
100 ft. 14
150 ft 12
NOTE: Do not use an extension cord over
150 feet.
If you do not fully seat the extension
cord on the inlet plug, the loose plug
could lead to overheating and cause a
fire, possibly burning you or others.
Ensure that you fully seat the cord on
the plug and use the cord lock feature to
secure the cord.
IMPORTANT: Check the power cord
frequently during use for holes in the
insulation. Do not use a damaged cord. Do not
run the cord through standing water or wet
grass.
CORD HOOK
There is a Cord Hook on the rear of the Motor
Housing.
To use the Cord Hook as shown in Fig. H, hook
the extension cord through the handle. Then
plug the cord from the Motor Housing into the
extension cord.
STARTING/STOPPING (See Fig. I)
IMPORTANT: The machine will not run unless
the Vacuum Tube or the Fan Cover is attached
to the Motor Housing.
STARTING
Your Blower Vac is fitted with a 2-speed switch
located on the handle. Connect the plug to the
power outlet and switch ON by moving the
On/Off switch to position”I”, move to position
“II”, the air speed will increase.
STOPPING
