OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figure 7.
NOTE: For added safety, your blower/vac has double safety
switching. If the blower/vacuum tube is not properly con-
nected to the motor housing or the tubes are not fully ex-
tended and have not locked in place, the blower/vac will not
start. Check the troubleshooting guide later in this manual
for more information.
To start the blower/vac:
 Attach the outlet end of an extension cord to the plug on
the cord at the rear of blower vac.
NOTE: Use only an approved outdoor extension cord as
described previously in this manual.
 Route the extension cord through the side of the loop
located on the rear of the blower housing and place
underneath the cord retainer.
CAUTION:
Always secure extension cord to unit by using cord re-
tainer. Failure to use cord retainer may result in damage
to the unit and/or extension cord.
 Connect the blower/vac to the power supply. The live tool
indicator will glow blue once the blower/vac is connected
to the electric power supply.
 Pull the trigger to start the blower/vac.
To stop the blower/vac:
 Release the trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

You can adjust the speed of the unit by turning the
variable speed control clockwise to increase speed or
counterclockwise to decrease speed.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the vacuum tube and vacuum
bag installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could
result in serious personal injury.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 9.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
