Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg-
ing indicator (13) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
Re-insert the battery (7).
u
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.

(Original instructions)
Hold the blow tube approximately 180 mm above the
u
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.
Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you
u
can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.
Warning! Never operate in Blow mode without the blow tube
and filter cover firmly in place.
Removing the blow/vacuum tube (fig. G and H)
To disconnect the blow tube (1) press the lock button (14)
u
and pull the tube off, making sure that the tube does not
fall to the ground.

(fig. I)
Align the collection bag tube (17) with the Sweeper (fig. J).
u
Push the tube onto the sweeper until the lock (14)
u

Attach the collection bag clip (18) to the collection bag
u
hook (19) on the bottom of the sweeper (fig. K).

u
Push the vac tube into the sweeper until it engages tightly
u

Position the vac tube slightly above the debris/leaves.
u
Switch on the appliance and use a sweeping motion; the
debris/leaves will be sucked up the tube, shredded and
thrown into the collection bag.
For stubborn debris/leaves your vacuum tube is fitted
u
with a scraper. Use the scraper to loosen the debris and
continue to vacuum as normal.
As the bag fills, the power of the suction will decrease,
u
switch off the appliance and unplug battery.
Unzip the bag to empty the contents before continuing to
u
operate.
Warning! Warning! Never remove the collection bag without
first turning off and removing the battery from the appliance.
Note: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full or the
unit comes to a stop during use, the vacuum tube is probably
clogged with debris. Turn off and remove the battery from the
vacuum and clear the tube before continuing. Check the tubes
for blockages and clear as required. Remove the fan cover
and check the fan for blockages, clear as required (do not use
any metal implements to clear any blockage).
