♦ Latch the retaining clip (10a) as shown in figure M.
Warning! Never remove the collection bag without first turning
off and unplugging the appliance.
Note: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full, the
vacuum tube is probably clogged with debris. Turn off and
unplug the vacuum and clear the tube before continuing.
♦ When task is complete, rotate the assembled vacuum
tube anticlockwise to release the bayonet fixing. Insert
the rod (14) into the fan guard release (13) and push
upwards to release the assembled vacuum tube. Remove
the assembled vacuum tube from the powerhead as
shown in figure N.

♦ Push the assembled blow tube onto the vacuum outlet
(11a) until the lock engages tightly with the blow tube as
shown in figure R.
Warning! Never operate in Blow mode without the blow tube
firmly in place.
♦ Hold the blow tube approximately 180 mm above the
ground, switch on the appliance and using a sweeping
motion from side to side, advance slowly keeping the
accumulated debris/leaves in front of you (fig. S).
♦ Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
can remove the blow tube assembly by inserting the rod
(14) into the aperture on the vacuum head and pushing
down to release the lock as shown in figure T.
♦ Now you can convert to vacuum mode and collect the
debris.

Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER appliance has been designed
to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
appliance care and regular cleaning.
♦ Keep the appliance clean and dry.
♦ Remove any leaves stuck to the inside of the vacuum
tube.
♦ Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a clean, dry
paint brush.
♦ Regularly clean the collection bag and ensure that it is
clean and empty after each use.
♦ To clean the appliance, use only mild soap and a damp
cloth. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never
immerse any part of the tool into liquid. Do not use any
abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
♦ Self lubricating bearings are used in your product,
therefore lubrication is not required.
