- To activate suction mode slide the suction/blower lever (10) to the front.

6.5 BLOWER OPERATIONS (Fig. 5)

Your blower is designed to easily remove debris from patios, walkways, lawns, bushes, etc., and many hard to reach areas where debris may accumulate.

DO NOT operate the blower with other people or animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of 30 feet (9 meters) between operator and other people or animals.

We recommend that a face mask be worn when operating blower in dusty areas.

Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will easily allow you to control the direction of blown debris. Never blow debris in direction of bystanders.

To control velocity of airstream, blower can be operated at any speed between idle and full throttle. Experience with the unit will help you determine the amount of airflow necessary for each application.

Warning: Because of flying debris, always wear American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.) approved shielded safety glasses or face shield when operating blower.

Before using your blower, review Safety Precautions in your User Manual, and all regulations for operation of the unit. These precautions and regulations are for your protection.

Caution: Hold the blower so that hot exhaust does not damage clothing and is not inhaled by operator.

6.6 VACUUM OPERATIONS

Warning: NEVER OPERATE VACUUM WITHOUT VACUUM BAG PROPERLY ATTACHED, AS FLYING DEBRIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS. ALWAYS MAKE SURE VACUUM BAG ZIPPER IS CLOSED BEFORE OPERATING UNIT.

Do not vacuum hot or burning materials (e.g. hot ash, glowin gcigarettes) from outdoor fi replaces or barbecue pits. always wait for these materials to be cool enough. Do not vacuum lighted smoking material such as discarded cigars or cigarettes. Do not operate unit near open flame.

Caution: This unit is designed to vacuum up debris such as leaves, small bits of paper, small twigs, weeds, grass clippings, etc. Do not use this unit for any other purpose.

Do not attempt to vacuum rocks, broken glass, bottles, tin cans or other such objects. Damage to impeller and unit as well as operator injury could result.

If vacuum tube is level with power unit horizontal, rocks or large objects may be drawn into tube, damaging the impeller.

GBR

To Operate Vacuum:

1. Follow correct starting procedures as explained in this manual.
2. Leave the motor running at idle speed. Attach the shoulder strap so that it lies over the left shoulder.

Caution: Do not allow shoulder harness to cover, block, or come in contact with exhaust outlet during operation. The muffler generates heat and could burn, melt, or damage harness strap.

1. Hold the appliance with the right hand on the upper handle and with the left hand on the front handle (Fig. 6).
2. For suction, swing the appliance from side to side.

Caution: To avoid clogging vacuum tube. DO NOT FORCE OR PLACE SUCTION TUBE INTO A PILE OF DEBRIS.

VACUUM TUBE CLOGGING

To Unclog Vacuum Tube:

Turn engine "OFF". Promptly compress vacuum bag while it is still inflated, expelling air out of the suction tube. This reverse airflow is usually sufficient to dislodge most obstructions. If the obstruction cannot be cleared by compressing vacuum bag, follow this procedure:

• Remove and inspect vacuum tubes.
  • Carefully clean out nozzle.
  • Reinstall vacuum tubes.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage, transport and ordering of spare parts

Always switch off the equipment and pull out the spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance work.

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The

ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

VACUUM BAG CLEANING

A dirty bag will obstruct airflow, thereby reducing vacuum efficiency.

To Clean Bag:

1. Detach vacuum bag from unit.
2. Open zipper and remove contents.
3. Turn bag INSIDE OUT and shake vigorously. This procedure should be performed on a regular basis.
4. Turn bag RIGHT SIDE OUT, close zipper and attach to unit.

NOTE: If vacuum bag is unusually dirty, it should be washed by hand in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Let dry before using.

7.2 Maintenance

Maintenance of the air fi Iter (Fig. 7a-7b)

Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air fi Iter should be checked after every 25 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air fi Iter should be checked more frequently.

1. Remove the air fi Iter cover (Fig. 7a)

2. Remove the fi Iter element (Fig. 7b)

3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
   Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or infl ammable solvents.

Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 8a-8b)

Spark plug gap = 0.6 mm. Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12-15 Nm.

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

1. Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 8a) by twisting.
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 8b) with the supplied spark plug wrench.
3. Assemble in reverse order.

GBR

7.3 Storage

Please note: If you fail to follow these instructions correctly, deposits may form on the interior of the carburetor which may result in the engine being more difficult to start or the machine suffering permanent damage.

1. Carry out all the maintenance work.
2. Drain the fuel out of the tank (use a conventional plastic petrol pump from a DIY store for this purpose).
3. When the fuel has been drained, start the engine.
4. Allow the engine to run at idling speed until it stops. This will clean the remainder of the fuel out of the carburetor.
5. Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
6. Remove the spark plug.
7. Place a teaspoon full of 2-stroke engine oil into the combustion chamber. Pull the starter cable several times carefully to wet the internal components with the oil. Fit the spark plug again.
8. Clean the exterior housing of the machine.
9. Store the machine in a cold, dry place where it is out of the reach of ignition sources and infl ammable substances. Fertilizers and other chemical garden products often contain substances that accelerate the rate of corrosion of metals. Do not store the machine on or near fertilizers or other chemicals.

7.4 Restarting

1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter cable several times to clean the oil residue out of the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug contacts or fit a new spark plug.
4. Fill the tank. See the section entitled Fuel and oil.
