SAFETY RULES
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.
WARNING: This product maybe contains lead,
phthalate or other chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and other
reproductive harm. Please wash your hands
after use.
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
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
3
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 gage. The smaller the gage
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; or
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
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.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING!: ENSURE THE TOOL IS TURNED
OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
Assembling the Blower Tube
1. Insert the upper blower tube into the
matching lower blower tube and push
together until they are connected firmly.
2. Secure in position by tightening the locking
knob.
NOTE: Ensure the locking knob is fully
tightened otherwise the motor will not start.
3. Push the combined blower tubes into the
housing fully.
NOTE: Ensure the blower tube is pushed fully
onto the housing otherwise the motor will not
start.
Extension Cord Retainer
The cord retaining hook is used to “anchor” an
extension lead (not included) when it is
connected to the power cord of the tool. It
prevents the extension lead from being
accidentally disconnected from the blower’s
power cable or shaken loose during use. It
should be used at all times.
1. Make a loop with the extension lead (socket
end of lead), push it through the hole and
secure over the hook as shown.
2. Once fitted, connect the extension lead
socket onto the blower’s power plug.
Shoulder Strap
1. Ensure the shoulder strap is clipped onto the
top of the blower.
2. To quickly unclip the blower, press either side
of the buckle.

NOTE: To use the shoulder strap simply slide
the strap over your shoulder so that some of
the weight of the blower can be taken by your
shoulder.

clippings and other debris from paths,
driveways and deck areas. Also blow material
out of places hard to access like under vehicles
or play equipment.
Hold the blower firmly, move the on/off switch
right to the ON position, point the jet of air in
front of you and move forward slowly. Move the
blower from side to side, with the nozzle
several inches above the ground. Be careful
where you point the jet of air as it can move
heavy material and cause injury or damage to
bystanders.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! ENSURE THE BLOWER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
• There are no user serviceable parts in the
blower; if a fault is suspected or the supply cord
requires replacement, return the blower to a
power tool repairer.
• Keep air intake clean and air vents free from
debris to avoid overheating the motor.
• Do not use cleaning agents to clean the
plastic parts of the blower. A mild detergent on
a damp cloth is recommended. Water must
never come into contact with the blower.
• If the blower vibrates abnormally, stop motor
immediately. Abnormal vibration usually
indicates a mechanical problem continued
operation could lead to injury or damage.
• No lubrication is necessary as the motor is
equipped with lifetime-lubrication bearings.
• Keep the ventilation vents of the blower clean
at all times, if possible, prevent foreign matter
from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the blower
housing to ensure it is free from all dust
particles which may have built-up. Build up of
dust particles may cause the blower to
overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the blower requires
cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the
blower; never immerse any part of the blower
into liquid.
• When not in use, the blower should be stored
in a dry, frost free location not within the reach
of children.
Note: AAVIX will not be responsible for any
damage or injuries caused by the repair of the
blower by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the blower vac. This tool is
designed for DIY use - use in commercial or
industrial environments will void the warranty.
