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.

Preparation of the blower vac prior to use

The ST1800 blower vac requires some assembly prior to

use for the first time.

This includes the fitting of the blow/vac tube to the

housing, fitting the chute wheel assembly and the fitting

of the collection bag.

This section also covers the fitting and removal of the

shoulder strap, and adjustment of the auxilary handle.

Fitting the blow/vac tube to the housing

1. To fit the blow/vac tube into the housing, first move

the upper and lower retaining clips away from the entry

point of the housing.

2. Fit the tube into the entry of the housing with the

large round tube section upper most in the housing.

3. Push the tube fully into the housing.

4. Move the upper retaining clip down on to the tube, and

push the rubber section over the raised section of the

tube. Repeat the same for the lower retaining clip.

5. The blow/vac tube is now securely in place.

Removing the blow/vac tube

1. Grasp the rubber tab on the upper and lower retaining

clip and pull away from the tube. This releases the

retaining clips.

2. Slide the tube outwards from the housing using a slight

wobble type action.

Note. The blower vac will not operate if the blow/vac

tube is not correctly fitted. This is a safety feature to

prevent accidental contact with the impellor.

To fit the collection bag

Prior to fitting the collection bag, the blow/vac tube must

be fitted to the housing.

1. Attach the strap (1) to the hook underneath the blow/

vac tube (a).

2. Attach the push-on plastic connector (2) to the outlet

tube of the housing (b). Push the fitting of the

collection bag directly onto the outlet until it “clicks”

into position.

3. Connect the last strap (3) onto the hook on the

underside of the blower vac housing (c).

To remove the collection bag,

disconnect the attachments in

the reverse order.

When removing the fitting on

the outlet, first depress the two

buttons as indicated, and then

pull downwards on the fitting.

Finally, remove the strap from

the hook under the blow/vac

tube.

Fitting the auxiliary handle

For full control of the blower vac during use the auxiliary

handle should always be fitted and adjusted to the most

suitable position for the operator.

1. To fit the handle to the housing, fully unscrew and

remove the adjusting knob and bolt from the auxiliary

handle.
