Notice symbol with information on how to handle the device properly. General safety instructions for power tools WARNING! Read all safety direc- tions and instructions. Omis- sions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, re and/or severe injuries. Retain all safety directions and instruc- tions for future use. The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated pow- er tools (with power cord) and to battery- operated power tools (without power cord).

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable Iiquids, gas- es or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the out- let. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un- modied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or ground- ed. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in- crease the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operation of the electric device in a damp environment is inevitable, ple- ase use a fault-current circuit breaker. The use of a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electrocution.

Please note that children, indivi- duals with limited physical, sen- sory or mental capabilities, those with insu󰀩cient experience or knowledge or individuals who are not familiar with the instruc- tions must never be permitted to use the machine. Local regulati- ons may specify an age restriction for the user. a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medica- tion. A moment of inattention white op- erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.65

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat- ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex- pected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov- ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collec- tion can reduce dust-related hazards

.h) Never let children or persons who are unfamiliar with these instructions use the machine.

i) Stop using the machine when per-

sons – especially children – or pets are nearby. j) Use the machine only in daylight or with good articial lighting. k) Always keep your hands and feet away from the cutting equipment, especially while starting the engine. l) Never install metallic cutting elements. m) Prior to commissioning and after any impact, check for signs of wear and damages, and have any necessary re- pairs performed. n) Never use the machine with damaged or missing protective equipment.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your applica- tion. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden- taIly.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s op- eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to bind and are easier to control.66

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF

BATTERY DEVICES a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manu- facturer. Risk of re if a charger that is suitable for a specic type of battery is used with other batteries. b) In the power tools, use only the bat- teries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in inju- ries and risk of re. c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery con- tacts may cause burns or re. d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental con- tact, rinse o󰀨 with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assis- tance. Leaking battery uid may cause skin irritations or burns.

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. General notes on safety

Working with the leaf blower The leaf blower 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.72

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, r cones or similar, since these can damage the device, in particular the shredding mechanism. Repairs of this type are not cov- ered by the guarantee. Blowing operating mode: For safety reasons, make sure the intake cover is properly closed.

• You get optimal results when you use the blower with a separation distance to the ground of 5 -10 cm.

• 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 previ- ously piled up leaves.

• Before blowing, loosen leaves ad- hering to the ground with a broom or rake.

• The guide rollers at the end of the tube make it easier to work on at surfaces. Suction operating mode: In suction mode the device must only be operated with the collec- tion bag mounted.

• Always hold the device tight with both hands during operati- on: use the handle (4) and the additional handle (6) for this.

• 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 impel- ler wheel. To reduce wear on the collec- tion bag, do not drag it along the ground while working. If the display on the on/o󰀨 switch (2) ashes red during operation and an alarm is heard, turn o󰀨 the device immediately. Remove the battery.Check that there is no material jammed between the impeller and the suction aperture (11). Carry out the procedures as described in the section „Cleaning and Maintenance“. If the device does not start after this, please contact our service centre. Emptying the collection bag: With full collection bag, the suction pump- ing capacity decreases considerably and the collection bag must be emptied when the bag is full or interferes with the suction capacity of the device.
