Safety information and general warnings
•Ensure that you read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. All the warnings below refer to your mains operated (corded)
blower vacuum.
•Keep work area clear and free of obstructions, cluttered areas invite
accidents.
•Do not operate garden machinery in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Garden machinery
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a garden
machinery. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•Garden machinery plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
garden machinery. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•Do not expose garden machinery to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a garden machinery will increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the garden machinery. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a garden machinery outdoors, use an outdoor
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
•Do not use a garden machinery while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating garden machinery may result in serious personal injury.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions to avoid injuries.
•Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying garden machinery with your finger on the switch
or plugging in garden machinery that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the garden machinery in unexpected
situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
•Do not force the garden machinery. Use the correct garden machinery
for your application. The correct garden machinery will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the garden machinery if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any garden machinery that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source before cleaning or
removing parts or storing garden machinery. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the garden machinery
accidentally.
•Store garden machinery out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the garden machinery or these instructions to
operate the garden machinery. Garden machinery are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
•Switch the motor off and remove the plug when the tool is not being
used, left unattended, being cleaned, being moved from one place to
another or when the extension cord is entangled or damaged.
•Do not operate the tool near people, especially children or pets. Turn it
off if they get too close. Maintain a safe distance of at least 5m from
other people when using the tool.
•Never direct the blower outlet towards bystanders or pets. Never blow
debris in the direction of bystanders or pets. The operator is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
•Do not handle the plug or the tool with wet hands and do not use the
tool in the rain.
•Use only outdoor rated extension leads that are so marked. Keep the
extension cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
•Ensure that the extension lead is secured in a manner that prevents it
from disconnecting from the plug whilst in use.
•Keep all the air intakes and the blower outlets free of debris and other
material that may cause a reduction in air flow.
•Keep a balanced and stable stance while using the tool.
•Only use the tool according to the instructions given in this manual.

using a rake the day before you intend to clear them allowing them to dry on
both sides.
Height adjustment

control arrowed 1 on the front and move forward and back to choose one of
the 4 choices, depending on the amount of leaves that are present and
whether you are blowing or vacuuming. See guide below.

Starting and stopping the motor
Plug the blower vacuum into a suitable power supply and if an extension
cable is used should be fitted with a suitable Residual Current Device (RCD).
With one finger depress the button arrowed 1 and then pull the trigger
arrowed 2. The machine will start. To cut the power simply let go of the
trigger.
Vacuuming
To vacuum push the selection lever in the direction shown below and the
leaves will be drawn into the collection bag which has a capacity of 45 Litres.
Regularly check the bag to make sure its not full and empty as required.

12
Blowing
To blow push the selection lever in the direction shown below and the leaves
will be blown to the desired location. Make sure you are in the correct
position to both vacuum and blow leaves during use as indicated by the ticks
below and as a safety precaution ensure nobody is in your path.

13
Care and maintenance
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and are fitted correctly
before and after each use.
All damaged and worn parts should be replaced to maintain the blower
vacuum in a safe working condition.
After use the leaf blower vacuum should disconnected from the power
supply and any leaves in the collection bag removed. Thoroughly clean all
areas using a soft brush on the upper and lower surfaces to remove any
debris and leaf particles and then wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth,
thoroughly dry before storing in a cool dry place.
Do not use water or any type of cleaning solvent or abrasive materials on the
parts of the surfaces as this will damage them.
