2. Start the machine and vacuum away the leaves by moving the appliance over the area to be cleared.
3. Always start the machine from a standing position, never kneeling or sitting next to the machine.
EMPTYING THE BAG
1. When the bag is full, switch the appliance off by releasing the throttle trigger control lever. Switch off at the
power point and unplug the lead.
2. Take the locking hook off the lower handle and remove the bag.
3. Grip the bag handle and carry the full bag to your rubbish receptacle or compost heap.
4. Open the zipper on the top of the bag, and invert the bag to empty the mulched debris.
CONNECTION BAG
The bag has a specially designed hard plastic base with the back of the bag double layered for better wear
resistance.
As with all similar bags, the material may become clogged with fine particles during use and the operating efficiency
of the machine will deteriorate without simple routine maintenance.
It is good practice to unclog the bag by shaking it after each use to ensure the bag material is able to filter correctly.
Where a bag is clogged with damp particles, it should be allowed to dry before dusting.
The leaf bag may be cleaned by using a garden hose. Always hose the bag from the outside. The bag may be turned
inside out to assist this.
Never store a damp bag. Always ensure the bag is completely dry before storage or use.
The vacuum bag is a consumable item. It is subject to high degrees of wear and tear and will need replacing from
time to time. Replacement bags are available from the appointed service centre or the dealer. Always replace a worn
bag immediately.
