Operating the blower vac
• When using the blower vac, hold the handle firmly at all times. Discontinue use if
discomfort occurs from vibration. Avoid long exposure without rest periods.
• Keep all body parts away from the nozzle end and vac intake. Make sure the unit is OFF
and spark plug is disconnected when clearing jammed material.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools can create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep children, bystanders and pets away when operating the power tool. Ensure there is a
minimum distance of 15 metres. Switch the unit off immediately if approached.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
blower impeller & cause damage or injury.
• Walk with the unit. Never run.
• To maintain full control of the blower vac, keep a proper footing at all times with your
weight evenly balanced over both feet and never over reach. Be careful when operating the
unit on slippery ground or overgrown terrain. Be attentive for concealed hazards, such as
ditches, tree stumps and roots.
• Do not operate on elevated structures such as ladders or roofs.
• Always keep the handle dry and free from oil and grease.
• Always stop the unit and disconnect spark plug if the following conditions apply;
- if a foreign object enters the blower tube or impeller and the blower begins to vibrate
abnormally, STOP the operation and inspect for any damage or blockages.
- before clearing any blockage.
- before checking, cleaning or working on the unit.
- whenever leaving the unit unattended.

• Do not use the blower vac if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF.
• Store blower vac out of the reach of children
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the blower.
• Always use blower with full blower nozzle extension so air stream can be close to the
ground. Do not blow or vacuum above shoulder height. Do not operate blower without
nozzle attachment securely assembled. See assembly instructions on pages 10-12.
