Overview
If your Cordless Blower Vac is losing suction or blowing power, the issue is usually caused by a low battery charge or a blockage in the air path. Before assuming a fault, it is important to carry out a few simple checks to restore normal performance.
This guide explains how to check the battery, identify blockages, and safely clear any obstructions from the machine.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check the Battery Charge
- Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
- If performance drops quickly, remove the battery and recharge it completely.
- Confirm the battery is securely inserted and locked into place.
Step 2: Check for Blockages
- Inspect the suction and blower tube for any visible debris.
- Check the collection bag (if fitted) for clogging or overfilling.
- Remove any leaves, dust, or obstructions that may restrict airflow.
Step 3: Clear Blockages Safely Using the Lever Method
⚠️ Important Safety Note:
Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles before carrying out any blockage clearing.
To clear using the machine:
- Remove the collection bag (required for this process).
- Set the machine to maximum speed (setting 5).
- Locate the black lever on the left side of the unit.
- Move the lever back and forth repeatedly to help dislodge the blockage.
- Allow the machine to clear through airflow.
Step 4: Manual Blockage Removal (If Required)
⚠️ Safety First: Always remove the battery before touching internal parts.
- Switch off the machine completely.
- Remove the battery to ensure it cannot power on.
- Carefully check inside the tube and housing for debris.
- Remove any blockage by hand using gloves.
Step 5: Reassemble and Test
- Refit the collection bag if needed.
- Reinsert the battery securely until it clicks into place.
- Switch the machine on and test at a lower speed first.
- Gradually increase to maximum setting (5) to confirm normal operation.
