Global Machinery Company ST1800 - Manual (Page 8)

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool
until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been
rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
Preparation of the blower vac prior to use
The ST1800 blower vac requires some assembly prior to
use for the first time.
This includes the fitting of the blow/vac tube to the
housing, fitting the chute wheel assembly and the fitting
of the collection bag.
This section also covers the fitting and removal of the
shoulder strap, and adjustment of the auxilary handle.
Fitting the blow/vac tube to the housing
1. To fit the blow/vac tube into the housing, first move
the upper and lower retaining clips away from the entry
point of the housing.
2. Fit the tube into the entry of the housing with the
large round tube section upper most in the housing.
3. Push the tube fully into the housing.
4. Move the upper retaining clip down on to the tube, and
push the rubber section over the raised section of the
tube. Repeat the same for the lower retaining clip.
5. The blow/vac tube is now securely in place.
Removing the blow/vac tube
1. Grasp the rubber tab on the upper and lower retaining
clip and pull away from the tube. This releases the
retaining clips.
2. Slide the tube outwards from the housing using a slight
wobble type action.
Note. The blower vac will not operate if the blow/vac
tube is not correctly fitted. This is a safety feature to
prevent accidental contact with the impellor.
To fit the collection bag
Prior to fitting the collection bag, the blow/vac tube must
be fitted to the housing.
1. Attach the strap (1) to the hook underneath the blow/
vac tube (a).
2. Attach the push-on plastic connector (2) to the outlet
tube of the housing (b). Push the fitting of the
collection bag directly onto the outlet until it “clicks”
into position.
3. Connect the last strap (3) onto the hook on the
underside of the blower vac housing (c).
To remove the collection bag,
disconnect the attachments in
the reverse order.
When removing the fitting on
the outlet, first depress the two
buttons as indicated, and then
pull downwards on the fitting.
Finally, remove the strap from
the hook under the blow/vac
tube.
Fitting the auxiliary handle
For full control of the blower vac during use the auxiliary
handle should always be fitted and adjusted to the most
suitable position for the operator.
1. To fit the handle to the housing, fully unscrew and
remove the adjusting knob and bolt from the auxiliary
handle.
