the appliance. Try not to vacuum up wet debris. Allow wet leaves etc. to firstly dry before using the leaf vacuum. You can use the leaf vacuum to blow dirt from court- yards, paths, drives, lawns, bushes and borders. In addition, you can also use the appliance to vacu- um up foliage, paper, small twigs and wood chips. If you use the leaf vacuum in vacuum mode, the waste will be vacuumed up through the tube into the col- lection bag. As the waste passes the suction fan, it is partially shredded. Shredded organic waste is ideal for use as mulch for plants. Warning! Hard objects e.g. stones, tin cans, glass, etc. will damage the suction fan. Important! Do not use the leaf vacuum to vacu- um up water or very wet dirt. Never use the vacuum blower unless the collection bag has been correctly fitted! Please note that the blower will continue to operate for a while after being switched off. Never use the appliance while standing on a ladder or similar. Never work on unstable ground. Always hold the mains cable out of the working area and guide it to the rear away from the appliance. 16907 DE EN FR NL eCommerce content RC4.indb 11316907 DE EN FR NL eCommerce content RC4.indb 113 13.06.2016 11:35:0713.06.2016 11:35:07114 of 122

Use the selection lever (3) on the side of the appliance to choose either vacuum or blower mode and press the On/Off switch (1) to switch the appliance on. Turn the speed control (10) from "1" to "6" if you require more power (Fig. J). 9.1. Stopping the leaf vacuum (Fig. J) In order to stop the appliance, you simply need to release the On/Off switch (1). 9.2. Blower mode (Fig. K) Inspect the working area before starting work. Remove all objects or waste that could be thrown around or crushed by the leaf vacuum or could become entan- gled in it. Select blower mode using the selection lever (3) on the side of the appliance and switch the appliance on. Support the leaf vacuum on its wheels and move it forwards. Direct the nozzle onto the dirt that needs removing. Alternatively, you can hold the nozzle directly above the ground and swing the appliance from side to side while also moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the dirt that needs removing. Blow the waste together into a heap and then use vacuum mode to vacuum it up. 9.3. Vacuum mode (Fig. L) Inspect the working area before starting work. Remove all objects or waste that could be thrown around or crushed by the leaf vacuum or could become entan- gled in it. Select vacuum mode using the selection lever (3) on the side of the appliance and switch the appliance on. Support the leaf vacuum on its wheels and move it forwards. Direct the nozzle onto the dirt that needs vacuuming. Alternatively, you can hold the leaf vacuum directly above the ground and swing the appliance from side to side while also moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the dirt that needs vacuuming. Do not press the nozzle into the dirt. This will cause the suction tube to become blocked and will reduce the perfor- mance of the appliance. Organic materials such as leaves contain a large amount of water and can stick to the inside of the suction tube as a result. Allow organic waste to firstly dry for a few days so that it does not stick to the tube.
