Unpacking

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.

Preparing of the blower vac prior to use

Warning!
The Vac-Blower must not be used or switched on
until it has been fully assembled.
Assembly instructions (Fig.2 - 5)
• The suction/blowing pipes must be assembled before
the machine is used.
• Push two sections firmly together until the clip in the
moulding engages (Fig. 2).
• Slide the suction/blowing pipe into motor housing 1
(Fig.3).
• Tighten the 2 screws A and B (Fig. 2 and 3). Make
sure the suction/blowing pipes are firmly closed with
the motor housing (Fig. 3).
• Assemble the Wheel Bracket: Insert the wheel bracket
from the end Lower tube till it reach the rib position and
can not forward again (fig. 4).
• Locate one screw in the screw hole on wheel bracket.
Tighten the screw firmly (fig. 5).
Fitting the collection bag (fig. 6 - 8)
• Attach the Vacuum bag to the hook on the suction/
blowing pipes (Fig. 6).
• Attach the push-on collection bag connector (6) to the
outlet tube of the housing. Push the fitting of the col-
lection bag directly onto the outlet until it "clicks" into
position (fig. 7).
• To remove the collection bag, disconnect the attach-
ments in the reserve order.
• When removing the fitting on the outlet, first depress
the two buttons on either side of the plastic connector
(fig. 8), and then pull.
Fitting the shoulder harness (fig. 9 and 10)
The Vacuum-Blower is provided with a shoulder harness
this is attached to the top of the main body of the Vacu-
um-Blower as shown. The shoulder harness is provided
to reduce fatigue and aid comfort when using the Vacu-
um-Blower. Never carry the belt diagonally over shoulder
and chest. Wear the strap only on one shoulder, in this
way you can remove the device in case of danger fast.

Before Starting

Only connect the device to a power source that is pro-
tected via a residual current protective device (RCD) with
a maximum release current of 30 mA.
Cable connection (Fig. 11)
Attach the extension to one side of the cable hook as
shown in Fig. 11.
GBR | Operating Instruction

Operation

Starting the vacuum-Blower

To start the Vacuum-Blower ensure that the intermediate
suction/blower tube is 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 from the previous
use. Select either the Vacuum or Blow function using the
selector lever on the side of the machine (3) and press
the switch button (2). If more power is required slide
the speed controller (8) from position "1" to position "6"
(Pic.12).
Stopping the vacuum- Blower (Pic.12)
To turn off the machine you can simply release the switch.

Using the vacuum-Blower

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
pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood chippings.
When the using the Vacuum Blower in Vacuum mode
the debris is sucked up the suction tube before being
ejected into the debris collection bag, as the debris
passes through the suction fan it is partially shredded.
The shredded organic debris is ideal to use as mulch
around plants.
Warning! Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans
glass etc, will damage the suction fan.
Blower mode (Fig. 13)
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 the Vacuum-Blower
forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
Alternatively hold 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 heap then use the vacuum
function to collect the debris.

Important
Do not use the Vacuum-Blower to suck up water
or very wet debris.
Never operate the Vacuum-Blower without the
debris collection bag fitted.
