• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), the use of hearing protection is required. • Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with time listed in local ordinance. Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. • To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. • To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job. • Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes, and air filters. • Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. • In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available. • Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens. •Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris away. • After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING AS A BLOWER Use the blower around buildings and for other normal cleaning (Fig. 15). 1. Start engine. See Starting/Stopping Instructions. 2. Set the blower/vacuum mode change-over lever to the up position (Blower Mode) (Fig. 13). NOTE: Never use the unit with the lever in the halfway position. Change-over lever Vacuum Mode Blower Mode Fig. 13 Fig. 15 Use the blower for walls, overhangs and screens (Fig. 16). 3. Place the shoulder harness over your head and onto your shoulder and adjust properly, see Installing and Adjusting the Shoulder Harness. Hold the blower as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speed than high, while high speed is better for moving heavier items like large debris or gravel. Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard to clean areas (Fig. 14). Fig. 16 Fig. 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING AS A VACUUM 1. Start engine. See Starting/Stopping Instructions. 2. Set the blower/vacuum mode change-over lever to the down position (Vacuum Mode) (Fig. 17). NOTE: Never use the unit with the lever in the halfway position. Change-over lever Fig. 17 Vacuum Mode Blower Mode Hold the vacuum tube 50-100 mm (2-4 in.) off the ground, tilting the blower/vacuum tube slightly, and use a sweeping action to collect light debris (Fig. 18). Small leaves and twigs will flow into the vacuum bag and be mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing the vacuum bag to hold more debris. WARNING: As a vacuum, the unit is designed to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs and bits of paper. To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to vacuum wet debris and/or standing water as this may result in damage to the Blower/ Vacuum. To avoid severe damage to the impeller, do not vacuum metal, broken glass, etc. WARNING: Avoid situations that could catch the vacuum bag on fire. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool. When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off the unit before removing the bag. Unzip the bag and empty the contents before continuing. NOTE: Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the vacuum. CLEARING A BLOCKED TUBE / IMPELLER WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the unit is off before cleaning or performing any maintenance on it. Fig. 18 WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or other sharp objects. 1. Press and hold the On/Off Stop control down in the STOP (O) position until the engine comes to a complete stop (Fig. 9). 2. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the unit from starting. 3. Remove the blower/vacuum tube and the vacuum bag. 4. Carefully remove material blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect the blades to assure no damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by hand to assure the blockage is completely cleared. 5. Reinstall the vacuum bag and blower/vacuum tube. 6. Reconnect the spark plug wire. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EMPTY THE VACUUM BAG WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, never unzip or remove the vacuum bag without first turning the unit off. NOTE: Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the vacuum. WARNING: Wear eye protection and a dust mask when emptying the vacuum bag. Latching tabs PRESS IN PRESS IN Fig. 19 3. Unzip the bag and empty the contents into a 1. While pressing the latching ta...
