9.8 Using the vacuum / blower
Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves etc., to dry out before using the
Vacuum Blower. The Vacuum-Blower can be used to blow debris from patios, paths,
driveways, lawns, bushes and borders. It will also pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood
chippings. When using the Vacuum Blower in Vacuum mode the debris is sucked up the
suction tube before being ejected into the debris collection bag, as the debris passes through
the suction fan it is partially shredded. The shredded organic debris is ideal to use as mulch
around plants.
Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans glass etc, will damage the
suction fan.
Do not use the Vacuum-Blower to suck up water or very wet debris.
Never operate the Vacuum-Blower without the debris collection bag fitted.
9.8.1 Blower mode
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be
thrown, jammed or become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the blow function using the selector 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 cleared.
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to side,
moving forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow the debris into a
convenient heap then use the vacuum function to collect the debris.
9.8.2 Vacuum mode
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be
thrown, jammed or become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower. Select the vacuum function
using the selector 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 efficiency 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.
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
10.1 Cleaning
▪ Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
▪ Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
▪ Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
▪ If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
▪ Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
