Unpacking To fit the collection bag Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing.

Prior to fitting the collection bag, the blow/vac tube must be fitted to the housing.

Slide the auxiliary handle over the housing as per the attached diagram, ensuring the handle is orientated so as the serrated or pattern surface aligns with the same pattern surface on the housing. 3. Fit the auxiliary locking knob and bolt through the handle and housing from the left hand side of the blower vac (same side as the blower vacuum selector) and tighten in a clockwise direction. 4.
While in the “on” position, the blower vac will continue to operate without the need to hold the switch in the “on” position. To turn the blower vac off To turn the blower vac “off”, slide the on/off switch backward and this will turn the blower vac off. In the off position the letter “O” will be displayed towards the front of the switch. Important. After you have turned the blower vac off, do not leave the product until the blower vac has been fully disconnected from the electrical supply. 5.
Important notes when using the blower/ vacuum selector lever 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.
