4.1 Assembly for Blowing Mode

1. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
2. Attach the blower nozzle to the main unit by aligning the guides and pushing until it clicks securely into place.
3. Ensure the collection bag is not attached for blowing operations.

4.2 Assembly for Vacuuming Mode

1. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
2. Attach the vacuum tube to the main unit, ensuring it is securely locked.
3. Attach the collection bag to the designated outlet on the main unit. Ensure the bag's opening is properly sealed to prevent debris leakage.
4. For comfortable use, attach the shoulder strap (if included) to the designated points on the unit.

5. Operating Instructions

Always ensure the unit is correctly assembled for the desired function (blowing or vacuuming) before connecting to power.

5.1 Blowing Operation

1. Connect the power cord to a suitable outdoor power outlet.
2. Hold the unit firmly with both hands, or use the shoulder strap for support.
3. Switch on the appliance using the power switch.
4. Direct the blower nozzle towards the leaves or debris you wish to move. Use a sweeping motion to gather material into piles.
5. The scraping edge at the end of the blowpipe can be used to loosen stubborn or wet leaves.
6. After use, switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply.

5.2 Vacuuming Operation

2. Hold the unit firmly, using the shoulder strap for balance and to reduce strain.
3. Switch on the appliance using the power switch.
4. Move the vacuum tube slowly over the leaves and debris. The powerful suction will draw material into the tube, where the metal chopper wheel will shred it before it enters the collection bag.
