Clearing The Blocked Inlet/Outlet
During the vacuuming process, certain objects such as cloth,
rope or large diameter sticks may obstruct and block the air
inlet/outlet. An overcurrent protection device, which is built
into the vacuum, will cut off the power to the motor to prevent
damage from overheating. When this happens, follow the
instructions below to clean the blocked air inlet/outlet.

WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the
unit is OFF and batteries are removed before clearing the air inlet.

Cleaning the Unit
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
turn the unit off and remove the batteries before cleaning or
servicing.
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not use
strong detergents, household cleaners that contain aromatic
oils (e.g. pine and lemon) or harsh solvents such as kerosene
as these substances can damage the plastic housing or the
handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
1. Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and
obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the
vacuum + mulcher.
2. Wear 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.
