Personal safety  
Safety instructions  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Save these instructions  
Work area  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite 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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 or blow debris towards  
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 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.  
Use only outdoor rated extension leads that are so  
marked. Keep the extension cord away from heat, oil  
and sharp edges.  
Service  
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

Extension cord support  
During use of the blower vac, the extension cord will  
continually be pulled as you move from one area to another.  
Operation of the blower vac  
Prior to using the blower vac, ensure you have read and  
understood this instruction manual.  
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.

loop in the extension cord, approximately 300mm from  
the socket on the extension cord.  
Ensure you are wearing suitable clothing and also safety  
equipment like safety glasses, ear protection and a mask  
if necessary.  
Ensure the attachments to the blower vac are correctly  
fitted and adjusted.

To select the blow operation  
Important notes when using the  
blower/vacuum selector lever  
1.Move the selector lever  
towards the back of the  
housing (fig A).  
A
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.  
When selecting either of the operations, ensure the  
selector lever is fully in one position or the other, not  
half way.  
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 empty the collection bag  
The collection bag is attached to the blower vac in 2  
places. It is not necessary to remove the collection bag  
from the blower vac when the bag needs to be emptied.  
The rear of the bag is fitted with a full length zip.  
Simply open the zip and empty the contents.  
Ensure to close the zip prior to operating the blower vac.  
To select the vacuum operation  
1. Push the selector lever  
forward (fig A).

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.  
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.  
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.

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  
Prior to cleaning or any maintenance, always ensure the  
power plug has been removed from the electrical power  
supply.  
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.  
Power cord maintenance  
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.
