Safety information ¾ Remove the power pack from the device: - Whenever you leave the device unattended. - Before removing blockages. - Before checking, cleaning or working on the device. - After impacting a foreign body, to check the de- vice for damage. - For immediate checking, if the device starts to vibrate excessively. ¾ Never leave the leaf vacuum/blower unat- tended during breaks and store it in a secure location. ¾ Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend- ers! ¾ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are standing securely and that you maintain your balance at all times. Pay particular attention, if you are working on a slope. Do not run, rather walk forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure that you can maintain better control of the device if unexpected situations occur. ¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards. Risk of tripping! ¾ Switch the motor o󰀨 when carrying the device to or from separate working positions. ¾ Never bypass or manipulate switching mecha- nisms installed on the device (e.g. by taping the push-button to the handle). ¾ Never suck up or blow away substances other than leaves or dirt with the device in order to prevent the risk of injury and property dam- age. Other substances are for example:

• Chemical products such as fertiliser or other substances

• Damp objects or liquids

• Solid objects such as metal, glass, etc.

• Hot objects such as ash, embers, ciga- rettes, etc. ¾ Never aim the device toward people, pets or windows. Always blow in a direction where there are neither people nor animals, nor where delicate solid objects are located (such as windows, walls, cars). ¾ Always hold the device rmly with both hands. One hand on the handle, the other on the bow-shaped handle. ¾ Do not wear any loose or dangling clothes or jewellery that could be sucked into the intake opening. Keep long hair away from the intake openings. ¾ Keep hands, face and feet away from all rotat- ing parts. Do not touch any rotating parts. Information about vibrations: ¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and impair the blood circulation in the hands and arms. ¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry. ¾ Take breaks. ¾ If you notice that the skin of your ngers or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes white, stop working with the machine and, if necessary, consult a doctor. ¾ The specied vibration emission values were measured according to a standardised testing procedure. These values make it possible to estimate the power tool emissions and compare them against di󰀨erent power tools. Dependent on the conditions of use, the state of the power tool or tools inserted for use with it, the actual vibration load may be higher or lower. When estimating the emissions also take into consideration work pauses and phases of reduced load. Implement protective actions, e.g. organisational measures, based on appropriate estimates. After use ¾ Switch the device o󰀨, remove the power pack and check the device for damage. ¾ If you need to clean or service the device, switch it o󰀨 and remove the power pack. ¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt. ¾ Do not clean the leaf vacuum/blower using water.Safety information
