Haven’t actually used this yet as it’s taken me numerous attempts, emails and internet searching to figure out how to get it working!! Just at the point of defeat I decided to be a little more forceful with it and hey presto it worked. The instructions are woeful and don’t explain anything in any detail. After researching I found many other people had felt the same pain but I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a detailed explanation of how to fix it! In short the product won’t work unless a small microswitch is depressed indicating that it is safe to use. On the blow feature this isn’t too hard to achieve, simply rotate the cylindrical orange Plastic filter until you hear it click. With the vacuum element I found it muchhhh harder to figure out. Essentially what you have to do Is apply pressure down the tube pushing the black cylinder into the main body of the product. Maintaining that pressure twist clockwise (again with a reasonable amount of force until you hear it click. If like me you have tried multiple times you were hear the difference in the clicking sound. Once fully clicked and locked the product should work....good luck!! Hopefully after all this pain it’s actually a good leaf blower!
