SAFE OPERATION
Know Your Power Tool
It is important that you have read and understood your instruction manual, and any label attached
to the power tool. Learn its applications as well as its limitations and the potential hazards
associated with this power tool.
Work Environment
Do not expose your power tools to rain or use in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not use power tools in areas where there is a risk of explosion or fire from combustible materials,
flammable liquids, paint, varnish, petrol, flammable gases, dust of an explosive nature, etc.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surface (e.g., pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators).
Beware of Children and Pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area. Children should not be allowed to touch or
operate machinery or touch extension cords. All power tools should be kept out of the reach of
children, preferably stored, or locked in a secure cabinet or room when not in use.
Use The Right Tool
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use the tools for a job for which it was not designed. Do not
force a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Clothing

ASSEMBLY
WARNING: The blower vac must not be used or switched on until it has been fully assembled.
Assembly (Pic.3 & Pic.4)
Pull out the two suction/blower tubes, vacuum-blower body and four screws that come in the
manual bag from the package. First, assemble the two tubes together and fix with two screws
(Pic.3). Then insert the whole tube into the machine body and secure with two screws (Pic.4).
Fitting the Debris Collection Bag (Pic.5)
Before fitting the debris collection bag, ensure that the
vacuum/blow selector lever operates smoothly and that it is
not obstructed by debris from the previous use.
Locate the debris collection bag and fold back the opening with
the draw cord to reveal an elasticated opening (Pic.5). Fit this
elasticated opening over the circular discharge tube on the
underside of the blow vac. Fit the opening with the draw cord
over the rectangular molding and secure with the draw cord.
Attach the front of the debris collection bag to the underside of
the suction/blower tube using the clip fitted to the debris
collection bag.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting the vacuum-blower, plug it into the mains supply with an RCD (residual current
device) and switch on.
STARTING THE VACUUM-BLOWER
To start the blow-vac, ensure that the two intermediate suction/blower tubes, along with the
machine body, are fitted correctly.
WARNING – Before selecting either the vacuum or blow function, ensure that the selector lever
operates smoothly and that it is not obstructed by debris. Select either the vacuum or blow function
using the selector on the side of the machine (Pic.6) and slide the ON/OFF switch to ON (Pic.7).
If more power is required, slide the speed controller from position 1 to position 6 (Pic.8).

STOPPING THE BLOW-VAC
To stop the blow vac, simply slide the ON/OFF switch to position OFF.
USING THE BLOW-VAC
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves, etc., to dry out before using the vacuum
blower. The vacuum blower can be used to blow debris from patios, paths, driveways, lawns,
bushes, and borders. It will also puck up leaves, paper, small twigs, and wood chippings. When using
the vacuum blower in vacuum mode, the debris are sucked up through the suction tube before
being ejected into the debris collection bag. As the debris pass through the suction fan, they are
partially shredded.
WARNING: Any hard objects such as stones, tins, cans, glass, etc., will damage the suction fan.
BLOWER MODE
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be thrown,
jammed, or become entangled in the vacuum blower.
Select the blow function using the selector lever on the side of the machine and switch on. With the
vacuum blower resting on its wheels, move it forwards, directing the nozzle at the debris to be
cleared.
Alternatively, hold the nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to side,
moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow the debris into a
convenient pile and then use the vacuum function to collect the debris.
VACUUM MODE
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be thrown,
jammed, or become entangled in the blow vac. Select the vacuum function using the selector lever
on the side of the machine and switch on. With the vacuum blower resting on its wheels, move it
forwards, directing the nozzle at the debris to be collected.
Alternatively, with the vacuum blower held just above the ground, swing the machine from side to
side, moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the debris to be collected. Do not force the nozzle
into the debris as this will block the suction tube and reduce the efficiency of the machine.
Organic materials, such as leaves, contain a large amount of water that can cause them to stick to
the inside of the suction tube. To reduce sticking, the material should be left for a few days to dry
out.
