Frequently Asked Questions - Power Vac 2700 FLYMO

How do I change between blower and vacuum mode?

To switch to blower mode, attach the blower tube and intake cover. For vacuum mode, attach the vacuum tube and collection bag. Refer to the Assembly section of the manual for detailed steps.

Why won't my product start?

Common causes: the blower tube, elbow tube, or vacuum tube is not assembled correctly; the collection bag is full; the extension cable is disconnected. Ensure all components are properly installed and the bag is empty.

How do I clean the Power Vac 2700?

Disconnect the mains and wait for the impeller to stop. Use a soft brush to clean the airflow slots and air intake area. Do not use water or high-pressure jets on the motor housing. The collection bag can be turned inside out and rinsed with water.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear eye and ear protection. Keep bystanders away. Do not use in rain. Use a residual current device (RCD) with tripping current ≤30 mA. Never operate without guards and properly installed tubes.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, use only extension cords designed for outdoor use, with a minimum cross-section of 1.00 mm² and maximum length of 40 metres. Ensure the cord is secured in the cable lock to prevent accidental disconnection.

What does the mulch ratio 14:1 mean?

The mulch ratio indicates the volume reduction: the vacuum reduces 14 volumes of leaves to 1 volume, making the collection bag more efficient.

How do I store the product?

Disconnect from mains, clean the product, and store in a dry, frost-free place out of reach of children. Do not store a dirty collection bag.

What should I do if the product vibrates abnormally?

Stop immediately and disconnect. Check for debris in the air intake area. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service dealer. Do not operate until resolved.

Can children use this product?

Children aged 8 and above may use it under supervision if they understand the risks. Young people under 16 are not recommended to use it. Children must not play with the product or perform cleaning/maintenance without supervision.

What is the warranty coverage?

FLYMO offers a 2-year warranty for original products used for private purposes. It covers material and manufacturing defects. Normal wear parts (e.g., tubes, blades) are excluded. Proof of purchase is required.

1 General

This annex presents safe operating practices for hand-held mains-operated electrical garden vacuums, and garden blower / vacuums with or without shredding means and garden blowers.

These practices are not all inclusive. The substance of these requirements should be provided with each machine as appropriate and tailored to the specific type of machine. It should also include information concerning noise and vibration levels and any necessary warnings, together with the following:

IMPORTANT

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

2 Safe operating practices for hand-held mains-operated electrical garden vacuums, and garden blower/vacuums with or without shredding means and garden blowers.

2.1 Training

a) Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the correct use of the machine.

b) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine.

Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.

c) Keep in mind, that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

2.2 Preparation

a) Obtain ear protection and safety glasses. Wear them at all times while operating the machine.

b) While operating the machine always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties.

c) Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair away from the air inlets.

d) Operate the machine in a recommended position and only on a firm, level surface.

e) Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel surface where ejected material could cause injury.
f) Before using, always visually inspect to see, that the shredding means, shredding means bolts and other fasteners are secure, the housing is undamaged and that guards and screens are in place. Replace worn or damaged components in sets to preserve balance. Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
g) Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY. Do not use the machine if the cord is damaged or worn.
h) Never operate the machine while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

2.3 Operation

a) Before starting the machine, make certain that the feeding chamber is empty.
b) Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening.
c) Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part.
d) Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of the machine when feeding material into it.
e) Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine.
f) When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included.
g) If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the machine from the supply and take the following steps before restarting and operating the machine:

• inspect for damage;
• replace or repair any damaged parts;
• check for and tighten any loose parts.

h) Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the intake opening.

i) If the machine becomes clogged, shut-off the power source and disconnect the machine from supply before cleaning debris.
j) Never operate the machine with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example debris collector in place.
k) Keep the power source clean of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power source or possible fire.
I) Do not transport this machine while the power source is running.
m) Stop the machine, and remove plug from the socket. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop

– whenever you leave the machine,

– before clearing blockages or unclogging chute,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the machine.
n) Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running.

2.4 Maintenance and storage

a) When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory, shut off the power source, disconnect the machine from the supply and make sure that all moving parts are come to a complete stop. Allow the machine to cool before making any inspections, adjustments, etc. Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean.
b) Store the machine in a dry place out of the reach of children.
c) Always allow the machine to cool before storing.

Use your product as a blower for sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc. Also, for blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or between bricks.

Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side.

Always work away from solid objects such as walks, large stones, vehicles, and fences.

Clean corners by starting in corners and moving outward. This will help prevent an accumulation of debris which could fly into your face. Be careful when working near plants. The force of the air could damage tender plants.

Vacuum mode [ Fig. O3 ]:

Use your product as a vacuum to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper.

For best results during vacuum use, operate your unit at high speed.

Move slowly back and forth over the material as you vacuum. Avoid forcing the unit into a pile of debris as this can clog the unit.

Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above the ground for best results.

WARNING: If the product becomes clogged, stop the unit and unplug the extension cord. Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning, then remove the vacuum tubes. Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out the clogged debris.
