Operaon

Blower mode

 Inspect the area to be worked

before starng. Remove any ob-

jects or debris that could be

thrown, jammed or become en-

tangled in the appliance.

 Select the blow funcon using

the selector lever on the side of

the machine and switch on. With

 Alternavely hold nozzle just

above the ground and swing the

machine from side to side, mov-

ing forwards and direcng the

nozzle at the debris to be

cleared. Blow the debris into a

convenient heap then use the

vacuum funcon to collect the

debris.

Vacuum mode

 Inspect the area to be worked

before starng. Remove any ob-

jects or debris that could be

thrown, jammed or become en-

tangled in the appliance tube.

 Select the vacuum funcon using

the selector lever on the side of

 Do not force the nozzle into the

debris as this will block the suc-

on tube and reduce the e-

ciency of the machine.

 Organic materials such as leaves

contain a large amount of water

that can cause them to sck to

the inside of the sucon tube. To

reduce scking the material

should be le for a few days to

dry out.
