It should also include information con- cerning noise and vibration levels and any necessary warnings, together with the following: IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 2 Safe operating practices for hand-held mains- operated electrical garden vacuums, and garden blower / vacuums with or without shredding means and garden blowers.

a) Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the correct use of the machine. b) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator. c) Keep in mind, that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

a) Obtain ear protection and safety glasses. Wear them at all times while operating the machine. b) While operating the machine always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties. c) Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair away from the air inlets. d) Operate the machine in a recommended position and only on a firm, level surface. e) Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel sur- face where ejected material could cause injury. f) Before using, always visually inspect to see, that the shredding means, shredding means bolts and other fasteners are secure, the housing is undamaged and that guards and screens are in place. Replace worn or damaged components in sets to preserve balance. Replace damaged or unreadable labels. g) Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes dam- aged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY. Do not use the machine if the cord is damaged or worn. h) Never operate the machine while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

a) Before starting the machine, make certain that the feeding chamber is empty. b) Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening. c) Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part. d) Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of the machine when feeding material into it. e) Always stand clear of the discharge zone when oper- ating this machine. f) When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included. g) If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the machine from the supply and take the following steps before restarting and operating the machine:

• replace or repair any damaged parts;

• check for and tighten any loose parts. h) Do not allow processed material to build up in the dis- charge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the intake opening.

i) If the machine becomes clogged, shut-off the power

source and disconnect the machine from supply before cleaning debris. j) Never operate the machine with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example debris collector in place. k) Keep the power source clean of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power source or possible fire. l) Do not transport this machine while the power source is running. m) Stop the machine, and remove plug from the socket. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop – whenever you leave the machine, – before clearing blockages or unclogging chute, – before checking, cleaning or working on the machine. n) Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running.

Work positions: Blow mode [ Fig. O2 ]: Use your product as a blower for sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc. Also, for blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles, or remov ing debris from corners, around joints, or between bricks. Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side. Always work away from solid objects such as walks, large stones, vehicles, and fences. Clean corners by starting in corners and moving outward. This will help prevent an accumulation of debris which could fly into your face. Be careful when working near plants. The force of the air could damage tender plants. Vacuum mode [ Fig. O3 ]: Use your product as a vacuum to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper. For best results during vacuum use, operate your unit at high speed. Move slowly back and forth over the material as you vacu- um. Avoid forcing the unit into a pile of debris as this can clog the unit. Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above the ground for best results.

WARNING: If the product becomes clogged, stop the

unit and unplug the extension cord. Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning, then remove the vacuum tubes. Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out the clogged debris. This will reduce possible personal injury from the impeller. To remove the collection bag
