USING THE VACUUM (See Fig. I)
CAUTION!
The vacuum can throw debris, possibly
causing serious personal injury to the
operator or bystanders.
•
Do not operate the vacuum without
the bag installed or with the bag
zipper open.
•
Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or
hard objects that could be thrown
through the fabric of the bag, such as
wires, staples, nails, or rocks.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the vacuum tube
1" above debris. Do not force the vacuum tube
into a pile of debris or hold the tube upright
while force feeding debris into the tube.
Either action may clog and damage the metal
Impeller and blade located inside the blower. If
the vacuum starts to vibrate or make abnormal
noise, stop it, unplug the cord, and check for the
cause.
EMPTYING THE DEBRIS COLLECTION
BAG
Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the
power source. Empty the Debris Collection
bag as shown in Fig J-K.
Do not store debris inside the Debris
Collection bag. To clean, turn it inside out and
shake out any excess debris. Once a year,
hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow
it to air dry.
WARNING: Normal usage of the
Debris Collection bag causes it to
wear and deteriorate over time. A worn
or deteriorated bag allows small objects
to be thrown through the bag, possibly
injuring the operator or bystanders.
Check the bag frequently. If it is worn
or deteriorated, replace it with a new
WORX debris collection bag.
REMOVING CLOGGED DEBRIS FROM

4. Now you can remove the debris from the
Impeller as shown in Fig M. (Use an item
that is long and sturdy. Be sure to be gentle
to not damage any of the internal items.)
5. Check the metal Impeller and blade for any
signs of damage. If it is damaged do not
use and contact your Authorized WORX
Dealer.
6. Reassemble the Blower/Vacuum Tube by
referring to the Assembly section of this
manual.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry
cloth. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Keep all working controls free of dust. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary,
this has to be done by the manufacturer or his
agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
STORAGE
Store the blower/vacuum and extension cord
indoors, in a cool dry location, out of reach of
children and animals.
