Safety instructions  
WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure  
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric  
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool”  
in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated  
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)  
power tool.  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool. Do  
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of  
inattention while operating power tools may result  
in serious personal injury.  
Save these instructions  
Work area  
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 will reduce personal injuries.  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power  
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable  
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks  
which may ignite the dust or fumes.  
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached  
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in  
personal injury.  
Keep children and bystanders away while operating  
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
Electrical safety  
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never  
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs  
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs  
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric  
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,  
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool  
in unexpected situations.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.  
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities ensure that these  
are connected and properly used. Use of these devices  
can reduce dust-related hazards.  
Power tool use and care  
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power  
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do  
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was  
designed.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.  
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the  
risk of electric shock.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not  
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be  
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Additional safety rules for blower vacs  
Always wear adequate protective clothing when  
operating the tool to avoid injuries to face, eyes,  
hands, feet, head or hearing. Use safety glasses or a  
face shield, high boots or sturdy shoes, long trousers,  
work gloves, a hard hat and ear defenders.  
Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
Do not start the tool when it is upside down or when it  
is not in the operating position.  
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.  
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool  
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
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 tube towards bystanders or pets.  
Never blow debris in the direction of bystanders or pets.  
The operator is responsible for accidents or hazards  
occuring 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 form disconnecting from the plug whilst  
in use.  
Keep all the air intakes and the blower tube free of  
dust, lint, hair and other material that may cause a  
reduction in air flow.  
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the power tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions  
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool  
for operations different from intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Service  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool  
is maintained.  
Keep a balanced and stable stance while using the tool.

Operation of the blower vac  
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely  
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If  
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the  
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.  
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.  
Prior to using the blower vac, ensure you have read and  
understood this instruction manual.  
Ensure you are wearing suitable clothing and also safety  
equipment like safety glasses, ear protection and a  
mask if necessary.

Tips for using your blower vac  
The following points may assist you in the operation of  
the blower vac.  
Always try and vacuum dry leaves, cuttings or general  
garden debris.  
When the vacuum operation  
is selected, air and debris is  
drawn up through the large  
vac tube, and forced through  
the mulching impellor.  
Wet material is difficult to mulch and also can cause  
the blower vac to clog.  
If the leaves etc. are damp, then use the blower vac in  
blow selection to pile the leaves etc. into one area, vac  
and mulch the leaves when dry.  
Avoid using the vac on areas where there are stones,  
or other hard objects. These objects will damage the  
impellor of the blower vac.  
It is also advisable not to allow the blower vac to  
pick up soil. Soil generally contains moisture and  
when combined with other garden debris can clog the  
blower vac.  
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.  
Important notes when using the  
blower/vacuum selector lever  
Do not force the lever. The lever should move with  
very little resistance. If the lever is difficult to move,  
disconnect the power supply, remove the collection bag  
and ensure debris, dirt or mud has not jammed the lever  
inside the large round outlet.  
When selecting either of the operations, ensure the  
selector lever is fully in one position or the other, not  
half way.  
The blower vac is not a garbage disposal unit. Do not  
attempt to mulch any material than general garden  
debris.  
For better performance and comfort, it is recommended  
the collection bag is emptied when it becomes  
approximately half full. This reduces the weight and also  
allows the vac operation to perform at its highest level.

Maintenance and storage information  
Power Cord Maintenance  
Prior to cleaning or any maintenance, always ensure the  
power plug has been removed from the electrical power  
supply.  
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be  
carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s  
agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid  
a safety hazard.  
When you have finished using the blower vac, always  
check to make sure the product is clean and free of dirt  
and debris. This is important around the selector lever flap  
which is just inside the round outlet. To check this area,  
remove the collection bag and ensure this area inside the  
outlet tube is free of debris and dirt.  
Operate the selector lever backwards and forwards to  
ensure correct operation.  
Do not hose or submerge any part of the blower vac.  
Do not use solvents to clean the blower vac.  
Store the blower vac in a dry place, and out of reach of  
children.
