How do I clear a blockage on my Cordless Blower Vac

Overview

Blockages in a Cordless Blower Vac can reduce suction, airflow, and overall performance. Most minor blockages can be cleared using the machine’s built-in clearing function without dismantling any components.

Important: Always follow the correct safety procedure and use the designated clearing method only.

Step-by-Step Guide – Clearing a Blockage

Step 1: Put on Protective Equipment

Before starting:

• Wear protective gloves
• Wear safety goggles

Important: Never attempt blockage clearing without protective equipment.

Step 2: Prepare the Machine

• Switch the machine on
• Set the speed to maximum setting (5)
• Remove the collection bag from the unit

Important: The machine must be running at full speed for the clearing process to work effectively.

Step 3: Use the Clearing Lever

• Locate the black lever on the left side of the machine
• Move the lever back and forth repeatedly
• Allow airflow to dislodge internal debris

Continue this process until airflow returns to normal.

Important: Do not stop too early—ensure the blockage is fully cleared.

Step 4: Confirm the Blockage Is Cleared

• Check that suction and airflow have returned to normal
• Ensure no debris is still restricting the system
• Reattach the collection bag if required

Important Safety Warning

⚠️ DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY BLOCKAGES BY HAND

• Never insert hands or tools into the machine
• Internal components may move suddenly during operation
• Always use the built-in clearing lever only

Important: Attempting manual removal may cause injury or damage to the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my blower vac keep blocking?

Do I need to switch the machine off before clearing a blockage?

No. The clearing lever function is designed to be used while the machine is running at full speed (setting 5).

Can I use tools to remove the blockage?

No. Only the built-in lever should be used. Using tools may damage internal components.
