While in the “on” position, the blower vac will continue
to operate without the need to hold the switch in the
“on” position.
To turn the blower vac off
To turn the blower vac “off”, slide the on/off switch
backward and this will turn the blower vac off. In the off
position the letter “O” will be displayed towards the front
of the switch.
Important. After you have turned the blower vac off, do
not leave the product until the blower vac has been fully
disconnected from the electrical supply.
Extension cord support
During use of the blower vac, the extension cord will
continually be pulled as you move from one area to another.
An extension cord support has been provided on the
housing of the blower vac to assist in preventing the
electrical connection between the extension cord and
blower vac plug being forced apart.
Note. The support is for the extension cord, and not the
cable from the blower vac.
1. To fit the extension cord to the support, make a tight
loop in the extension cord, approximately 300mm from
the socket on the extension cord.
2. Fit the loop into the square recess in the back portion
of the blower vac on the right hand side.
3. Push the loop all the way through the housing by
approximately 25mm.
4. Push each side of the loop downwards so each side of
the loop fits into the round cut away section.
5. To seat the cable firmly, gently pull one of the two
lengths of extension cable on the right hand side of the
blower vac.
6. After, and only after the cable is correctly seated, plug
the blower vac plug into the socket of the extension
cable.
To select the blow operation
1. Move the selector lever
towards the back of the
housing.
When the blow operation
is selected, air is drawn up
through the large blow/vac tube
and then expelled at a much
higher velocity in the lower
cavity below the blow/vac tube.
Ensure when the blow operation is selected the blower
vac is pointed, directed and used in a safe manner. Do
not direct the air flow from this blower vac directly or
indirectly towards another person.
To select the vacuum operation
1. Push the selector lever
forward.
When the vacuum operation is
selected, air and debris is drawn
up through the large vac tube,
and forced through the mulching
impellor.
The debris is mulched and then
blown down into the collection
bag.
Important. Always ensure the collection bag is correctly
attached as per the “Fitting the collection bag” section in
this manual.
Always be aware of what is being drawn up into the
blow/vac tube. This product is only designed for garden
debris like leaves, twigs and garden cuttings.
