stones, broken glass, pieces of metal.

material at one time thus avoiding clogging of the vacuuming
opening and blocking of the mulcher impeller.

material and its residual moisture.
Operating Tips
mWARNING! Use the blower + vacuum + mulcher only in
daylight or good articial light.
• When using the blower vac, plant your feet rmly on the
ground and place one hand on the rear handle and the
other hand on the front handle.
• Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• When using the unit as vac/mulcher, make sure the bag is
properly installed and zipped closed.
• Make sure the blower tube is not directed at anybody or
any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure
the tube (and/or bag) is in place and secure.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a
vac/mulcher.
• Use the supporting wheels to easily guide the tube along
the ground.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Typical recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate power
blowers at the lowest possible speed setting necessary to
do the job.

Clearing a Blocked Tube/Impeller
During the vacuuming/mulching process, certain objects such
as cloth, rope, or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan
and block the motor.
If an obstruction occurs:
1. Slide the switch trigger + speed selector switch
backwards to the “0” OFF position. Remove the
battery packs.
2. Remove the collection bag by pressing the bag releasing
button, and pull the bag out (Fig. 4). And untie the strap
from the strap hook.
3. Using a long probe or a garden stake, insert into the
vacuum/mulcher air outlet to loosen and remove the
obstruction.
4. Reattach the collection bag. Insert the batteries and start
the machine in vacuum/mulcher mode with high speed.
Idle the unit for a while to clean up any residual debris.
Cleaning
1. Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not
use strong detergents, household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils (e.g. pine and lemon) or harsh solvents such
as kerosene as these substances can damage the plastic
housing or the handles. Wipe o any moisture with a soft,
dry cloth.
2. Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent
overheating.
3. If needed, clean the tube and impeller as indicated above.
4. Wear eye protection and a dust mask. Clean the bag as
needed. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying and
vigorously shake out dust and debris.
