Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Class II machine - Double insulation - You don't need any earthed plug.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet. If you have to rewire at any time please connect as follows. Attach the blue cable (Neutral) to the terminal marked N or coloured black or blue. Attach the brown cable (Live) to the terminal marked L or coloured red or brown.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm². When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. ASSEMBLY

Assembly vacuum tube

Fig.

1. Pull the tube out of the housing until the marking.
2. Align the holes
3. Fix the tube onto the housing using enclosed the screws.
4. Cover the screws using the enclosed screwcovers.
5. The screws can be removed for easier storage.

Attach the collection bag

Fig. 3

Always use the collection bag when using vacuum mode.

Attach the hook to the upperpart of the housing. Slide the open end of the collection bag over the tube and connect it to the housing. Attach the hook to the lower part of the housing.

Always check the vacuum bag for signs of damage before each use. Small, sharp objects can be sucked up and if the bag is damaged or worn the objects might be thrown in your direction or the direction of others. This could lead to serious injury so please check. If your bag is damaged or badly worn please replace it with a new one.

4. OPERATION

Operation

Fig.2

Plug in your appliance at the mains (or extension lead) and when you are ready and well balanced, press the ON/OFF button (5) and it will start. Press again to turn it off.

Note: We recommend the use of a heavy-duty outdoor extension cable.

Alter the harness length so that you can stand up straight and allow the blower to rest on its wheels when in use. This will lighten the load across your shoulders and back. Use in a forward and backward direction, not side to side.

Changing operation mode (blow/vac)

Fig.2

When you want to change from one mode to another, simply pull the option level to suit your requirement. Turn it clockwise to blower mode and anti-clockwise to vacuum mode (remember to fit the bag if you want vacuum mode).

Speed dial

Fig.1

Your blower/vac has a variable speed dial (6) which can be used as conditions dictate.
