Vacuum Operation
WARNING: The vacuum can
throw debris, causing injury to
those nearby.
• Do not operate vacuum without
the vacuum bag attached or
with the bag zipper opened.
• Do not vacuum nails, glass,
rocks, wire, staples, or other
sharp, pointed, or hard objects.
These items could be thrown
through the cloth bag.
Properly assemble the blower/vac for
vacuum operation (see page 5, Converting
from Blower to Vacuum). Follow the steps
below to operate the vacuum.
1. Hang vacuum bag from your shoulder
using the attached strap. Hold blow
-
er/vac using the handles on housing
and vacuum tube adapter assembly
(see Figure 4-7).
2. When ready to start the vacuum,
toggle the on/off switch to either the
low “
I” or high “II” setting (see Figure
4-4).
3. Move end of vacuum tube over soft
debris. Vacuum will pick up debris,
chop it up, and deposit it into vacuum
bag (see Figure 4-8).
4. To stop the vacuum, toggle the on/off
switch to the off “O” setting.
CAUTION: Vacuum only soft
items such as leaves and cut
grass. Hard items such as sticks,
rocks, and acorns will damage the
impeller.
CAUTION: Do not force the
vacuum tube into a pile of debris.
Do not hold the tube upright and
force-feed debris into the tube.
These actions may clog and dam-
age the impeller. If the vacuum
vibrates excessively or makes
abnormal noises, turn vacuum off,
unplug power cord, and check for
clogging. Clear any clogged debris
from the blower/vac.
CAUTION: Normal vacuum
usage causes the vacuum bag to
wear and deteriorate. A worn or
deteriorated bag allows vacuum
to throw debris through the bag,
possibly hitting and injuring the
operator. Check vacuum bag fre-
quently. If it is worn, deteriorated,
or damaged, replace with a genu
-
ine vacuum bag.
