2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This vacuum/blowing appliance is a portable garden appliance for blowing away as well as vacuuming and shredding leaves and dirt.

The appliance is driven by a combustion motor. The combustion motor generates a high-speed air stream using a rotor. Vacuumed leaves and dirt are shredded by the rotating shredder blade mounted on the rotor shaft and collected in a collecting sack.

The appliance can be converted to vacuum or blowing operation using attachable and detachable accessory parts.

2.1 Designated use

This vacuum/blowing appliance is designed for private use. It can be used for:

■ Blowing away and collecting leaves, grass, dirt and refuse. The appliance can be carried with one hand in blowing operation.
■ Vacuuming and shredding of dry leaves and grass. In vacuum operation, the appliance must be carried with two hands. The collecting sack must hang on the left shoulder.

For both blowing and vacuum operation, the respective accessory parts supplied must be fitted before beginning work.

Any other use, as well as unauthorised conversions or add-ons, are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in invalidation of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

2.2 Possible foreseeable misuse

The vacuum/blowing appliance is not designed for commercial use in public parks, sports grounds, agriculture and forestry. Above all, check that:

The appliance must not be used without accessory parts – in both blowing and vacuum operation.
■ The appliance must only be used by one person (not by more than one person).

DANGER! Risk of explosion and fire.

Vacuumed explosive and inflammable products, hot ashes, combustion residues without open flame or smouldering cigarettes lead to an immediate risk of explosion and fire.

5.2 Making and pouring in the petrol/oil mixture

IMPORTANT! Danger of motor damage. Pure petrol leads to damage and complete failure of the motor. Guarantee claims against the manufacturer are excluded in this case.

■ Only operate the motor using the specified petrol/oil mixture ratio.

Mixing the petrol/oil to produce the mixture (13)

The 2-stroke motor requires:

  • Lead-free, fresh petrol with an octane rating of at least 90. Petrol stored for longer than 2 months would lead to deposits and malfunctions of the motor.
    ■ High-quality synthetic oil for 2-stroke motors Mix these two components to produce a petrol/oil mixture of 40:1.

  • Hold the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) horizontally and pour in the required amount of petrol:

  • Read the filled amount on the right petrol scale (13/2) "100 – 500" [in ml].
    ■ Pour in the petrol up to the 300, 400 or 500 ml mark (e.g. 400 ml, see graphic).

  • Hold the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) horizontally and pour in the required amount of 2-stroke oil up to the next mark on the left oil scale 40:1 (13/3).

  • Close the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) and shake vigorously several times to thoroughly mix the petrol and oil.

Pouring in the petrol/oil mixture (14)

  1. Switch off the motor of the appliance.
  2. Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface. The cap of the fuel tank must point upwards.
  3. Wipe clean the cap of the fuel tank, the fuel tank and the surrounding appliance parts so that no dirt can get into the fuel tank when the petrol/oil mixture is poured in.
  4. Open the cap (14/1) of the fuel tank slowly so the pressurised petrol/air mixture in the fuel

tank (14/2) can slowly escape into the atmosphere. Let the cap (14/1) hang on the fuel tank.

  1. Insert a funnel (14/3) in the filler neck (14/4) of the fuel tank.
  2. Fill the prepared petrol/oil mixture from the fuel mixture bottle (14/5) up to the upper end of the fill level indicator (14/6) or up to the lower edge of the filler neck (14/4) in the fuel tank, but not beyond it.
  3. Remove the funnel (14/3) from the opening of the fuel tank (14/2) and tighten the cap (14/1).
  4. Wipe any spilled petrol/oil mixture off the appliance and the surface.

DANGER! Danger of poisoning from motor exhaust gases. Serious poisoning can be caused by inhaling the motor exhaust gases. Such poisoning can be fatal.

■ Only operate the appliance out of doors and never in enclosed spaces.
■ Do not inhale the motor exhaust gases.

6.1 Starting the engine

Set the appliance on the ground before starting the motor. The blow or vacuum tubes fitted to the appliance must have sufficient space to move.

  2. Allow the motor to warm up:

  3. Hold the throttle lever (17/1) fully depressed for a while so the motor runs warm.
    ■ Slowly release the throttle lever (17/1). Push it again if the motor no longer runs properly.
    ■ Release the throttle lever (17/1) when motor has warmed up. It then runs at idle speed.

Warm start (15, 16, 17)

If the motor is still warm from use, i.e. shortly after it was switched off, a "warm start" is carried out. The choke is not used here.

  1. Check that the rotary choke knob is in the starting position. If not, turn it anti-clockwise to the end stop.
  2. Push the primer knob (15/2) approx. 2 to 3 times fully downward to pump the petrol/oil mixture into the carburettor.
  3. At the same time:

■ Push the appliance firmly downwards to the ground with one hand on the upper handle (16/1).
■ With the other hand, pull the starter handle (16/2) first carefully and slowly until resistance is felt and then intently and quickly vertically upwards until resistance is felt again (approx. 1 arm length).
■ Let the starter rope roll back up but without letting go of the starter handle (16/2).

  1. Repeat this step several times until the motor starts but stops again.

5. At the same time:

■ Firmly push the appliance downwards to the ground with one hand on the upper handle (16/1) and fully depress the throttle lever (17/1).
■ With the other hand, pull the starter handle (16/2) first carefully and slowly until resistance is felt and then intently and quickly vertically upwards until resistance is felt again (approx. 1 arm length).
- Let the starter rope roll back up but without letting go of the starter handle (16/2).

  1. Repeat this step several times until the motor starts and then runs properly.

NOTE If the choke was accidentally switched on: Turn the rotary choke knob anti-clockwise to the starting position and repeat the warm start several times until the motor starts.
