When using the vacuum attachment,
the unit is designed to pick up dry ma­
teria] such as ieaves, grass, small
twigs, and bits of paper. Do not vacu­
um stones, gravel, metal, broken
glass, etc., to avoid severe damage to
the impeiler. To avoid the possibility of
electrical shock, do not attempt to vac­
uum water or other liquids.
Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. When used as a
vacuum, always install vacuum tubes
and collection bag assembiy. Make
sure the collection bag assembly is
completely zipped when unit is running
to avoid flying debris. Use only recom­
mended attachments.
Avoid situations which could set the
collection bag on fire. Do not vacuum
discarded matches, cigars, cigarettes,
or ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits,
brush piles, etc. To avoid spreading
fire, do not use blower near leaf or
brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc.
• Always use the collection bag shoul­
der strap when vacuuming to avoid
loss of control.
• Check air intake openings, elbow tube,
and vacuum tubes frequently, always
with the unit stopped and the power
source disconnected. Keep vents and
tubes free of debris which can accu­
mulate and restrict proper air flow. Do
not use with any opening blocked.
Keep free of dust, lint, hair and any­
thing that may reduce air flow.
