Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid. Clean out any clippings which
may have accumulated in the Blower/Vac.
When used properly with dry leaves the fan
chamber of your Blower/Vac should remain
clean. If damp earth and debris are ingested
some of the particles may build up on the
inside of the fan chamber. If this happens
the performance of the unit will decrease.
This area can be cleaned out using a
wooden stick as shown in figure S after
disconnecting from the power source. Your
Blower/Vac should be stored in a dry place.

fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can
cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts.
IMPORTANT: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (other than
those listed in this manual) should be
performed by authorized service centers or
other qualified service personnel, always
using identical replacement parts.
