forwards directing the nozzle at the debris
to be cleared.
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the
ground and swing the machine from side
to side, moving forwards and directing the
nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow the
debris into a convenient heap then use the
vacuum function to collect the debris.
Vacuum mode
Inspect the area to be worked before start-
ing. Remove any objects or debris that
could be thrown, jammed or become en-
tangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the vacuum function using the se-
lector lever on the side of the machine
and switch on. With the Vacuum-Blower
resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-
Blower forwards directing the nozzle at
the debris to be collected. Alternatively
with the Vacuum-Blower held just above
the ground swing the machine from side
to side, moving forwards and directing the
nozzle at the debris to be collected. Do not
force the nozzle into the debris as this will
block the suction tube and reduce the ef-
ficiency of the machine.
Organic materials such as leaves contain a
large amount of water that can cause them
to stick to the inside of the suction tube. To
reduce sticking the material should be left
for a few days to dry out.

correctly.
All damaged and worn parts should be
replaced in order to maintain the Vacuum-
Blower in a safe working condition.
Never leave material in the Vacuum-Blow-
er or the debris collection bag. This could
be dangerous when starting the Vacuum-
Blower.
After use the Vacuum-Blower should be
thoroughly cleaned.
