NOTE: The mulching intensity depends on the size of the leaf
material and its residual moisture.
Operating Tips
mWARNING! Use the blower/vacuum/mulcher only in
daylight or good articial light.
• When using the blower vac, plant your feet rmly on the
ground and place one hand on the unit handle and the
other hand on the front handle.
• Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• When using the unit as mulcher, make sure the bag is
properly installed and zipped closed.
• Make sure the blower tube is not directed at anybody or
any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure
the tube (and/or bag) is in place and secure.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a mulcher.
• Use the supporting wheels to easily guide the tube along
the ground.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Typical recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate power
blowers at the lowest possible speed setting necessary to
do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
