When operating the machine, wear personal protective equipment such as work clothing with long legs and sleeves as well as protective gloves. Wear eye protection and a face mask. Moreover, use hearing protection. Wear solid footwear with full uppers and non-slip soles. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings and make sure they are clear. Obstructed or clogged ventilation openings may cause the machine to overheat. This can lead to damage to the machine and cause fi re or electrocution. If you notice any damage to any part of the machine, you must discontinue using it. In this case, hand the machine over to an authorised service centre or replace this part by yourself, provided the user’s manual permits this. Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery before performing any activities related to replacing parts, cleaning, or adjustment. Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery before replacing the accessories. The machine must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, as well as those who fail to read this manual. Local regulations may restrict the operator’s age. Children should not play with the machine. Children left unattended should not be allowed to perform the cleaning and maintenance of the machine. The machine is designed to be operated with two hands. Hold the machine by the handles. The handles should always point upwards. Make sure that air inlet and outlet are not ob- structed when holding the product. The air inlet must not be too close to the ground to prevent dirt from being sucked into the machine. Keep a proper standing position during work so that you can always maintain balance. When working on a slope, move across the slope. Never run while working, always walk. Always use the machine when it is fully assembled. Never use the product without the at- tached nozzle. Always use a collection bag when using the machine as a vacuum. Do not touch dangerous moving parts until the machine has been unplugged from the mains by disconnecting the power cord plug, and the dangerous moving parts have come to a complete standstill. Before connecting, make sure that the mains parameters are as indicated on the machine nameplate. Always connect the batteries to the machine after making sure that the power switch is in the off position. Check the machine’s condition each time before you start it, or after dropping it, or when the blower hits an object. If you notice any damage, such as a cracked housing, you must not use the machine until the damage has been remedied. If, during operation, a malfunction or accident occurs, turn off the machine fi rst, disconnect14

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS the batteries and then administer aid to injured persons. Rectify the cause of the malfunction or accident. Check the condition of the machine for damage before resuming operation. Always disconnect the power supply by disconnecting the batteries: when the user leaves the machine; before removing the jam; before inspecting, cleaning, or works on the machine; after the machine has hit an object to check for damage; if the machine starts to vibrate ab- normally, for an immediate check. If the machine starts to vibrate excessively after start-up or during operation, this means that the machine is not operating correctly. In this case, turn the machine off immediately, disconnect the batteries and check it. Check the nozzle for any obstructions in the air inlet and outlet. Once the obstruction has been removed, reassemble the machine, connect it to the power source, and restart it. If excessive vibration persists, immediately turn the machine off with the power switch, disconnect the batteries and hand it over to an authorised service centre. Although precautions have been taken during the machine’s engineering and design and considering that the guidelines in this manual have been followed, there is still a residual risk in terms of exposure to vibration and noise. Therefore, use personal protective equipment. Do not work too long, and take regular breaks. Make sure that the batteries have been disconnected from the machine before carrying out its maintenance. Keep the machine out of reach of unauthorised persons, especially children. Make sure that the machine is out of the reach of unauthorised persons, especially children, also during operation. PRODUCT OPERATION Preparing for operation Unpack the product by removing all packaging components. It is recommended not to dispose of the packaging as it may be useful for later storage of the product. Check all parts of the product for damage. Check the nozzle and the collection bag for any obstructions in the air inlet and outlet. The product can be assembled for use in a blower or vacuum mode. Warning! Make sure that the product is turned off during assembly i.e. the power switch is in the off position, and the batteries are not connected to the machine’s socket. Product assembly Fix the nozzle onto the air outlet. The nozzle is equipped with latches, which should fi t into the holes on the nozzle (II). Secure the connection with a screw (II). Set the front handle in the position that will ensure the greatest comfort of use. To change the handle position, simultaneously press and hold both lock buttons in the handle base (III). Then turn the handle to the desired position and release the lock buttons. Make sure that the handle is locked in a chosen position. Preparing for operation — blower Move the operating mode selection lever to the bottom position so that it is next to the symbol showing the direction of air fl ow — blowing (IV). Make sure that the collection bag is not fi xed to the blower. The product is ready for use as a blower. Preparing for operation — vacuum Move the operating mode selection lever to the upper position so that it is next to the symbol showing the direction of air fl ow — suction (V). Fix the collection bag by sliding its fl ange on the air outlet so that the latch locks the collection bag fl ange (VI). The fl ange can only be removed by pressing and holding the lock button and then sliding the fl ange from the air outlet (VI). There is a band with an eye in the front part of the collection bag, which should be fastened on the hook located at the bottom of the nozzle (VII). Such an installation will provide two attachment points for the collection bag and allow its capacity to be fully utilised. The collection bag at the bottom has a closure. It allows easy emptying of the bag. Make sure that the collection bag is completely15

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS emptied and closed before using it with the vacuum. Carrying belt The vacuum is equipped with an auxiliary carrying belt. It allows reducing the load on the hands holding the machine, especially during prolonged use. The belt latch must be passed through the opening on the top of the machine housing. The belt should be placed diagonally over the operator’s body and its length adjusted so that the majority of the machine’s weight rests on the belt. Connecting the power supply Two batteries power the machine. The machine will not start up if one of the batteries is not installed in the machine or is dis- charged. The machine batteries are connected in a series, which means that the machine is powered with the sum of their rated voltages. It is recommended that both batteries have the same capacity and are equally charged. The batteries used for powering should also be equally used. It is not recommended to connect an exhausted battery with a new one, even if both are equally charged and have the same capacity. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in a shorter operating time, and faster wear of the batteries used to power the machine. Only the following 18V Li-Ion YATO batteries can be used to power the device: YT-82842, YT-82843, YT-82844 and YT-82845, which can only be charged with YATO YT-82848 or YT-82849 chargers. It is forbidden to use other batteries with a diff erent rated voltage and not matching the tool battery socket. It is forbidden to modify the socket or battery to make them match. Slide the charged batteries into the guides of the battery socket so that the battery latch holds it in place (IX). Check whether any battery does not slide out of the tool socket by itself. Starting and stopping the blower The blower is equipped with a rotary switch. If the power switch knob is set to the “0” position, the machine is turned off . Any other position means the machine is running. The higher the number on the switch knob, the higher the motor speed and the higher the thrust force. The thrust force should be adapted to the work performed. Always use a minimum thrust suffi cient for the selected job. Keep in mind that the greater the thrust, the shorter the operating time on one battery set. When fi nished, turn off the machine using the power switch, wait for the moving parts to stop completely, and then disconnect both batteries. Instructions for use Always make sure that the inlet, outlet, and nozzle are not obstructed. Increased noise and vibration will be the fi rst sign if any of these is partly or completely obstructed. Restore the fully unobstructed condition immediately. Working with an obstructed product is ineffi cient and can cause overheating and damage to it. Before starting work, check the work area thoroughly, removing any objects that may cause a hazard if propelled by an air blow. Also, remove any objects that may move unexpectedly under the infl uence of the air stream, e.g., tip over and cause danger. Provide a safety zone of at least 15 m wide from the working area. The safety zone must not be accessible to any persons, espe- cially children. Persons who enter the safety zone must exercise caution and wear the personal protective equipment described above in the manual. Always direct the blower nozzle downwards, towards the ground to be cleaned. Do not blow debris in the direction of other people or animals. Do not blow air towards a surface that is too loose. The dust generated during such use impairs the ability to watch the workplace, which does not allow for appropriate response in the event of an emergency. As far as possible, direct the air fl ow in the same direction as the wind. This will prevent debris from moving into the area already cleared. Before starting the vacuum, always install the collection bag correctly. Check the amount of debris in the bag regularly during operation, and empty it. Collection bag overfi lling will lead to blockages. There are auxiliary wheels at the nozzle outlet, which facilitate the nozzle guidance on the cleaned surface. Do not use the vacuum to suck in wet, damp, or hot waste. Do not suck in construction waste and dust generated during con- struction works, e.g., dust generated when fi nishing gypsum skim coats. The product is not suitable for use with such materials. If the product features a speed adjustment, use the lowest speed possible to carry out the work. Higher speeds cause more noise and also cause faster wear of the product. Walk and keep your balance at all times, do not run, do not jump, do not overreach during the work. Do not use the product to clean a surface that is out of sight.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Each time after fi nishing work, disconnect the batteries from the product and begin its maintenance. Dismount the nozzle and the collection bag, if used. Clean both the ventilation openings and the inlet and outlet with a soft handheld brush or a painting brush with plastic bristles. Clean the housing, handle, and controls with a soft, slightly dampened with water cloth and then dry them. A compressed air stream with a pressure not exceeding 0.3 MPa can be used for cleaning. Once the nozzle is removed, it can be16

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS cleaned with a jet of water and then dried or left to dry. Empty the bag by unzipping it and removing dust residue using a stream of compressed air of 0.3 MPa or less. Do not use sharp objects, abrasives, solvents, or alcohol for cleaning. Spare parts The user is not permitted to replace any other parts than the nozzle and the collection bag.
