PLUGGING IN AND SWITCHING ON THE DEVICE
• Insert the power plug into the extension cord
connector.
• Loop the power cord around the cable holder
(See fig.6). This will prevent the cord from coming
unplugged.
• Move the on/off switch (1) to position 1.
To turn off the device, move the power switch to
position 0 (off).
OPERATION MODES
The blower has two operating modes:
• Vacuum mode (See fig.7b)
• Blow mode (See fig.7a)
VACUUM MODE (See fig.8)
• To vacuum, move the operating mode selector
(10) all the way to the left to the "Vacuum" symbol.
This can be done either when the device is turned
off or while it is in operation.
BLOW MODE (See fig. 9)
• To blow, move the operating mode selector (10)
all the way to the right "blow" symbol. This can be
done either when the device is turned off or while
it is in operation.
• Point the end of the blower tube forward and
move slowly, blowing the garden debris or leaves
together (or away from difficult to reach places).
IMPORTANT: Make sure you empty the collection bag before using the device for blowing. Otherwise, debris might begin spilling out of the bag.
EMPTYING THE COLLECTION BAG
• Switch off and unplug the device.
• Open the collection bag zipper and shake out
the contents of the bag.
The bag should be emptied before it becomes full otherwise the device's vacuuming power will be greatly reduced. Organic debris should be composted.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
Maintenance, repairs and cleaning should always be performed with the device unplugged.
• Under no circumstances should running water or
a high pressure cleaner be used on the blower.
• Do not use strong cleaning agents.
• After each use, remove the collection bag from
the device, turn it inside out and clean it thoroughly.
This will prevent mould and unpleasant odours from
developing.
• If the bag is very soiled, wash it with soap and
water.
• If the zipper becomes stiff, rub dry soap on the
zipper teeth.
• Keep the device and its air vents clean at all times.
• Wipe any dirt off the device with a damp cloth. If
the blower tube becomes soiled, clean it with a
brush.
• In the event of soiling from vacuumed debris makes
the “operating mode selector” (10) stiff, simply
move it back and forth several times and it will move
easily again.

• Never operate the blower on damp or wet grass.
Using the blower on sloping areas:
Do not work in areas with unduly steep slopes.
Always position yourself horizontally to the slope and make sure your feet are firmly on the gound. Exercise particular caution whenever you change directions while working on a slope.
• Keep the air outlet unobstructed and clean at
all times.
• Never direct the suction/blown air opening toward
persons or animals.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Make sure that all screws, nuts and bolts are
tight, doing this will ensure that the blower is safe
to operate.
• Check the collection bag regularly for signs of
wear and/or distortion.
• For reasons of safety, any worn or damaged
component should be replaced or repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
• When not in use, the blower should be stored in
a dry location that is inaccessible to children.
The blower can be plugged into any 230 volt AC outlet with 10 amps of fuse protection. The electrical outlet is to be protected by an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
(ELCB) with a max triggering current of 30m amps.
BEFORE USE
- STEPS PRIOR TO OPERATION
Only operate the device after completely assembling it. Prior to each use, check the power cord for signs of damage. Under no circumstances should the power cord be used if it shows any signs of damage.
ASSEMBLING THE DEVICE
MOUNTING THE HANDLE (See fig.2)
• Lie the handle (6) on the upper section of the motor
housing (2). Press it in and align it with the handle
section.
• Insert the bolt (5) through the handle adjustment
nut (5) and the motor housing.
Tighten down the nut (5).
ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING THE BLOWER TUBE (See fig.3 & 4)
Assemble the suction nozzle (9) and blower tube (8) sections of the blower tube. The two components should lock in place with an audible click.
NOTE: Before attaching the blower tube to the device, make absolutely certain that the two components of the tube are tightly assembled. Under no circumstances should they be disassembled at any future time.
NOTE: The blower is fitted with a safety switch (11) which is only activated when the blower tube is attached to the device.
WARNING: The two sections of the blower tube must be connected together and then fixed with the screws to the housing before use.
MOUNTING THE COLLECTION BAG (See fig.5)
• Attach the collection bag (7) to the connector on
the housing in such a way that the tube locks onto
the connector and makes an audible click.
• Attach each of the hooks to the blower tube and
motor housing.
ADJUSTING THE STRAP
Adjust the length of the strap (12) in such a way that when the device is operated, the blower tube is nearly touching the ground (but not actually touching it).
The guide rollers underneath the blower tube make it easier to point the tube in the desired direction.

and its operating and control functions.
• Under no circumstances should children less then
14 years of age be permitted to operate the blower

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• When you operate the blower, always wear
full length trousers, as well as sturdy closed shoes
that provide good support.

body ornamentation, or loose clothing be worn
while operating the device as these items could be
drawn into the suction orifice. When working
outdoors, rubber gloves and non-slip footwear
should always be worn. If you have long hair, put
it in a hair net.
SAFETY
• Wear protective garments and goggles. Wearing
protective garments such as a dust mask, non
slip footwear, protective gloves, a helmet and/or
hearing protection (depending on the type and
application of the electrical device concerned)
reduces the risk of injury.
• When performing work that generates dust, wear
a breathing mask.
• Each time you use the blower, check the
integrity of the device's power cord and your own
extension cord. The device should only be
operated when its accessories are in perfect
working order.
Any damaged or defective components should be repaired immediately by a qualified technician.
• Under no circumstances should the blower be
operated while you are wearing damaged
protective garments, shielding or without safety
equipment such as the deflection device or
collection bag.
Only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use should be used outdoors. Any extension cord used should measure a minimum of
1.5mm2. All plug-in connections should have an earthing contact and water-spray shielding.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
• Make sure the power cord is kept behind and
away from the device while you work.
• If the power cord or extension cord are damaged
while you work, unplug the blower immediately.
• Never use the power cord as a handle to lift or
carry the device.
• Always unplug the device under the following
circumstances:
- When the blower is not in use, is being
carried/transported, or is left unattended.
- While examining, cleaning or unclogging the
device.
- When performing maintenance on it, or
attaching accessories to it.
- If the device strikes a foreign object or begins
vibrating abnormally.
• Use the blower in daylight or with adequate
illumination.

electrical device can make you lose your
balance. Therefore, make sure that your feet are
firmly on the ground and that your body is well
balanced when you are operating the device.
