HOW TO OPERATE

STARTING AND STOPPING

Refer to the Electrical Information page for the installation and connection of the

power cord.

Warning! To avoid serious personal injury, always wear safety glasses. Wear a facial

mask in dusty locations and wear appropriate clothing such as boots, gloves, long

pants and long-sleeved shirt.

In either blower mode or vacuum/mulcher mode, move the On/Off switch (A) Fig.6

to the On position to turn blower on. Move the On/Off switch to the Off position to

turn blower off.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

This blower/vacuum/mulcher comes with a variable speed dial (A) Fig.7 which con-

trols the amount of air flow during use (blower or vacuum/mulcher mode). Fig.7

shows which direction to turn the variable speed dial to increase or decrease the

air flow when in blower mode. In vacuum/mulcher mode, it is the opposite.

HOLDING THE BLOWER/VACUUM/MULCHER

In Blower Mode- Hold the blower tube approximately 7" above the ground and turn

the switch to the On position to start. In a sweeping motion, move the blower side-

to-side, advancing slowing keeping the leaves, grass etc. in front of you. Once all

debris is in a pile, you can now convert your blower to vacuum/mulcher mode to

collect the debris for disposal.

In Vacuum/Mulcher Mode- Tilt the vacuum/

mulcher tube slightly and use a sweeping mo-

tion, move the vacuum/mulcher tube side-to-side

and turn the switch to the On position to start.

Small debris will flow into and through the vac-

cum tube into the collection bag. Larger debris

such as leaves and small twigs will be mulched

as they pass through the impeller housing.

Once the collection bag gets full, the suction

power will decrease, to avoid this, turn off vac-

uum/mulcher and unplug the extension cord.

Unzip the collection bag and empty its contents

before continuing to operate.

CAUTION: NEVER UNZIP THE COLLECTION BAG

WITHOUT FIRST TURNING OFF AND UNPLUGGING

THE VACUUM/MULCHER.

NOTE: If the suction decreases and the bag is

not full, the vacuum collection tube is probably

clogged with debris. Turn off and unplug the

vacuum/mulcher and clear the collection tube

before continuing.

WHILE OPERATING AS A VACUUM/MULCHER

• Avoid situations that could catch the bag on fire. Do not operate near an open

flame. Do not mulch warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc.

Do not mulch discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely

cool.

• The unit is designed to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs,

and bits of paper. Do not attempt to mulch wet debris and/or standing water,

because this may result in damage. To avoid severe damage to the impeller,

do not mulch metal, rocks or broken glass.

• Do not operate vacuum without vacuum bag installed; flying debris could cause

serious injury. Always close vacuum bag completely before operating.

• Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Stop the engine before open-

ing the vacuum door or installing/changing tubes. Do not put hands or any other

object into the vacuum tubes while they are installed on the unit.

• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufac-

turer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk.

• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following

this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct oth-

ers who may use this power tool. If you loan someone this power tool, loan them

these instructions also.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power

supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not oper-

ate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of

power and the motor will overheat. If your product does not operate when plugged into

an outlet, double-check the power supply.

GFCI Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the

circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the product. Receptacles are available having built-

in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be

sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your tool will draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. See

Fig.1 for table showing correct size to use depending on the cord length and the

nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the

gauge number, the heavier the cord. Always use U.L. or CSA listed extension cords.
