maintenance on it, which could result in serious personal
injury.
Clearing The Blocked Inlet/Outlet
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as cloth,
rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct and block the air
inlet/outlet. A thermal protection device, which is built into the
blower vac, will cut o the electricity to the motor to prevent
damage from overheating. When this happens, follow the
instructions below to clean the blocked air inlet/outlet.
mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the
unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the air inlet/outlet.

wear gloves to protect yourself from any sharp objects.

until the unit comes to a complete stop.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the collection bag.
4. Using protective gloves, carefully remove the material
blocking the air inlet/outlet. Inspect to ensure no damage
has occurred.
