AIR VENTS
 
OPERATION
Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions 
and debris. They must always remain clear for proper 
motor cooling.
OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to side with the 
nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly 
advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in 
front of you. Most dry blowing operations are better suited 
to low speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a 
better way to move heavier items like large debris or 
gravel.
OPERATING AS A MULCHER
Hold the vac firmly, tilting the mulcher tubes (2-4 in. or 
5-10 cm), and use a sweeping action to collect light debris.
WARNING: 
                               To avoid serious personal injury, do not 
wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves, 
strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air 
vents. To make sure long hair does not get drawn into the 
air vents, tie back long hair.
CLEARING A BLOCKED TUBE / IMPELLER
WARNING: 
                               To avoid serious personal injury, be 
sure the unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the 
impeller.
WARNING: 
                              To avoid serious personal injury, always 
wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or 
other sharp objects.
WARNING: 
                               To avoid serious personal injury, 
always turn the unit off and unplug it before cleaning or 
servicing. Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the 
unit. Do not use strong detergents, household cleaners 
that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and 
solvents such as kerosene as they can damage plastic 
housings or handles. Wipe off any moisture with a soft, dry 
cloth.
1. Slide the Power/Speed switch down to the OFF position 
until the unit comes to a complete stop.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the blower tube or mulcher tubes and the bag.
4. Carefully remove material blocking the tube or impeller. 
Inspect the blades to ensure no damage has occurred. 
Rotate the impeller blades by hand to ensure the blockage 
is completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the blower tube or mulcher tubes and the bag.
6. Plug the unit back into the power supply.
MAINTENANCE
SERVICING DOUBLE-INSULATED UNITS 
This unit is double insulated. In a double-insulated unit, 
two systems of insulation are provided instead of ground-
ing. There is no grounding provided and no means of 
grounding should be added to this unit. Extreme care and 
knowledge of the system is required when servicing a 
double-insulated unit. Service should be performed by 
qualified service personnel only. Replacement parts for a 
double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they 
replace. Refer any repairs to an authorized service dealer. 
A double-insulated unit is marked with the words “double 
insulation” or “double insulated.”
CLEANING THE BAG
1. Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and 
obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of 
the mulcher.
2. Wearing eye protection and a dust mask, clean the bag 
as needed. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying 
and vigorously shake out dust and debris.
3. Wash the bag once a year, or more often if needed:
a. Remove the bag.
b. Turn bag inside out.
c. Hang it up.
d. Hose it down thoroughly.
e. Leave it hanging to dry.
f. Turn bag right-side out and reinstall.
CLEANING THE UNIT
STORAGE
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for 
deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the 
connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or 
damaged.
The debris will flow into the bag. Items such as small 
leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass through 
the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased 
performance, empty the bag often.
Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or 
damage.
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Store the unit out of the reach of children
