• When used as a blower, ensure that the inlet cover is
completely closed and locked.
• Keep a rm grip on both the handle and auxiliary handle.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound
level(s), hearing protection is required.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a mulcher.
• 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.
Usual 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.
• 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.
• Blow debris into a safe, open area away from children,
pets, open windows or freshly washed cars.
• Clean up after using leaf blowers and other lawn
equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury,
wear ear defenders, goggles or safety glasses at all times
when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in
dusty locations.
mWARNING! To prevent serious personal injury or
damage to the unit, make sure the blower tube or the mulcher
tubes and the bag are in place before operating the unit.
Air Vents
Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions
and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor
cooling.
mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, do not
wear loose tting clothing or articles such as scarves, strings,
chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air vents.
To make sure long hair does not get drawn into the air vents,
tie back long hair.
Blower Mode
• Hold the blower rmly with one hand on the main handle
and the other hand on the auxiliary handle. Sweep from
side to side with the nozzle several inches above the
ground or oor (Fig. 19).
• Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile
of debris in front of you. Most dry blowing operations are
better suited to low speeds rather than high speeds.
High speed blowing is best for moving heavier items like
large debris or gravel.
Vacuum/Mulcher Mode
• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
• With a rm hold on the vac, tilt the mulcher tubes
2 in – 4 in. (5 cm – 10 cm) from the ground and use a
sweeping action to collect light debris. The debris will
ow into the bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs
will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing. For
longer bag life and increased performance, empty the bag
frequently (Fig. 20).
