General description

Function description

The garden vacuum has a blowing/ vacuuming unit for the blowing and suction functions. In blowing mode, you can quickly blow together fallen leaves or blown them out of places that are difficult to reach. In suction mode, the leaves are shredded to save space, and blown out of the ejector outlet into the collection bag. The handles are equipped with vibration dampers to improve working safety and reduce wrist and arm joint fatigue.

The collection bag is fitted with one-sided inner lining to prevent fine dust and wetness from penetrating the bag to the outside. This lining is located on the left-hand side of the bag to protect your working clothes from soiling.

You can vacuum up dry leaves and leaf parts on the flat with the flat suction nozzle. The guide rollers at the lower end of the tube make it easier to guide the tube along the ground. To protect the user, the appliance can only be used with the blowing/suction pipe completely installed. The appliance is double-insulated, and does not need to be earthed. Refer to the following descriptions for instructions on how the operating controls work.

Mount carrying strap:

1. Hook the carrying strap (1) onto the attachment bar (8).

Operation

Danger of injury.

Wear suitable clothing and work gloves when working with the device. Make sure that the device is functioning properly before every use. Make sure that the collection bag and the tube are assembled correctly and the carrying strap is adjusted correctly for work. If a switch should be damaged, work with the device must not be carried out any longer. Make sure that the mains voltage values are compatible with the label on the device.

Note noise protection laws and local regulations.

Operate the device only at reasonable times – not early in the morning or late in the evening when others could be disturbed.

After switching off the device, the impeller wheel continues to rotate for some time. Danger of injury due to rotating tool.

Initial Operation (picture 3)

Before switching on device, make sure it is not in contact with any objects. Ensure stable positioning.

The device can only be switched on if the entire blower / suction tube is correctly mounted.

1. Make a loop of the end of the extension cord and fasten this to the cable support (13). By means of this tension relief, an unintentional pull-out of the electrical plug connection is avoided.
2. Make sure that the device is switched off and connect the device to the mains voltage.
3. Put on the carrying strap (5) and adjust it to the optimum length. During operation, hold the device with one hand on the casing grip and the other on the additional grip.

GB

1. For switch-on, slide the on/off switch (8) into position "1", the device starts up. To switch off, slide the on/off switch (8) into position "0", the device switches off.
2. With the airstream regulator (7) set the optimal blowing and sucking strength.

Always work at the lowest possible motor rpm level, since the noise level and power consumption both increase / decrease with motor output.

Working with appliance

The foliage vacuum may only be used for the following purposes:

• As a blower to pile up dry leaf material or to blow material out of places that are hard to access (e.g. under cars)
• As a suction device to suck up dry leaf material. The device also functions as a shredder in the suction function. The dry leaves are shredded and their volume is reduced, preparing the material for later composting if desired. The shredding intensity depends on the size of the leaf material and its residual moisture.

Uses other than those described here may damage the machine and put the operator at risk.

During work, ensure that the device is not struck against hard objects, which can cause damage. Do not suck up any solid bodies such as stones, branches or pieces of branch, fir cones or similar, since these can damage the device, in particular the shredding mechanism. Repairs of this type are not covered by the guarantee.

Pull out mains plug immediately if the impeller wheel is blocked or if the cable is damaged or gets wound around something! Danger of electric shock!

Suction operating mode:

• Set the operating mode selector switch to the symbol (see "Initial Operation"). Check whether the collection bag is correctly assembled.

• Make sure the volumes of leaf material sucked in at one time are not too large. This will avoid clogging of the blower / suction tube and blockage of the impeller wheel.

To reduce wear on the collection bag, do not drag it along the ground while working.

If the device stops suddenly during operation and does not produce any suction, then it is to be switched off immediately. Pull out the power plug and make sure that no material is wedged in between the shredder impeller and the casing. Carry out the work as described in the chapter "Cleaning and Maintenance". If the appliance will not start, consult our Service Centre.

Emptying the collection bag (picture 4): With full collection bag, the suction pumping capacity decreases considerably and the collection bag must be emptied when the bag is full or interferes with the suction capacity of the device.

Disconnect the device and pull out the power plug before emptying the collection bag. Danger of electric shock!

1. Wait until the impeller wheel is still.
2. To remove the collection bag (16), the retainer loop (see picture 1, nos. 18a + 18b ) and press the two side click-in fasteners (21) on the retainer frame (15) inward.
3. Open the zip fastener (see picture 1, no. 17) on the collection bag (16) and empty it completely.
4. Refit the empty collection bag (see chapter "Assembly Instructions").

Composting material does not belong with domestic waste!

Blowing operating mode:

• Set the operating mode selector switch to the symbol (see "Initial Operation").
• You get optimal results when you use the blower with a separation distance to the ground of 5 -10 cm.
• Direct the airstream away from yourself. Ensure that you do not to stir up any heavy objects and hurt somebody or damage something.
• Begin work with the highest blowing power, in order to rapidly pile up the leaves lying around. Select a lower blowing power to compact the previously piled up leaves.
  Before blowing, loosen leaves adhering to the ground with a broom or rake.
  The guide rollers at the end of the tube make it easier to work on flat surfaces.

Cleaning and maintenance

Pull out the power plug before all work on the device.

Leave all work not described in this manual to our Service Centre. Only use original parts.

Before every use, check the foliage vacuum for obvious deficiencies, such as loose, worn or damaged parts and for correct seating of the parts. Replace damaged parts. Check the bag regularly for wear and tear.

Carry out the following maintenance and cleaning work regularly. By this means, a long and reliable life is guaranteed.

General cleaning

Clean the device in each case immediately after working, since otherwise mud with leaf residues hardens and sets and can possibly no longer be removed without dismantling the motor casing. Such cleaning work is not covered by the guarantee.

Do not employ any cleaning agents or solvents. They can irreparably damage the device. Chemical substances can attack the plastic parts of the device.

• Clean the device casing, the tube and the ventilation slots regularly with a soft brush or a cloth. Never clean the device under running water.
  Take off the collection bag after finishing work, turn it inside out and brush it thor

oughly. In this way, you avoid the generation of mold and unpleasant odours.

Free the outlet area from possible shredded residues.

Removal of clogging

Leaf material and fresh plant parts may clog / block the device.

Cleaning the air outlet area:

1. Remove the collection bag.
2. Clean the external outlet area on the device.
3. Set the operating mode selector switch to the suction symbol.
4. Remove dirt residues in the inner air outlet area with a bottle brush or similar. Remove unwieldy objects with a blunt tool without sharp edges.

Cleaning the blower/suction tube and impeller wheel:

1. Remove the 4 tube-fastening screws (see picture 1, no. 3a + 3b ) and pull off both parts of the blower/suction tube (see picture 1, no. 2a + 2b ).
2. Clean the inside of the two-piece blower/suction tube.
3. Carefully remove dirt residues on the impeller wheel with a bottle brush or similar and remove bulky objects with a blunt not sharp tool.
4. Check whether the impeller wheel turns easily and is in fault-free condition. Have a defective impeller wheel replaced by an authorised customer service centre.
5. Refit the blower/suction tube and screw it in place.

Replacing the collection bag

Replace a defective collection bag. Employ only original collection bags (see

"Spare Parts"), otherwise the guarantee claim is invalid.
