Frequently Asked Questions - E-LS 2445 Ergotools Pattfield

How to assemble the suction tubes on the E-LS 2445 blower?

First push the front tube into the rear tube until it clicks audibly, then screw the two tubes together with the special screws (4.2 x 18 mm). Next, place the locking screw in horizontal position, insert the tube into the motor, then turn the locking screw 90° to the right using the fork wrench to secure it.

How to switch from vacuum to blowing mode?

The device has a switch (8) located on the side. Turn the lever fully to the left for vacuum (Saugen) or to the right for blowing (Blasin). You can do this when stopped or during operation.

How to empty the collection bag?

Stop the device and unplug it. Open the zipper of the collection bag (7) and shake out the debris. For a deep clean, wash the bag with water and soap if necessary. A full bag reduces suction power.

What to do if the device does not start?

First check that the power cord is plugged in and the fuse is in good condition. If the cord is damaged, replace it. Make sure the suction tube is properly installed (the safety switch requires it). If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

What safety precautions should I take when using?

Wear safety goggles, non-slip shoes and a dust mask when working in dusty conditions. Never point the opening at people or animals. Use an extension cord with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm² suitable for outdoor use. Always unplug the device before any cleaning or maintenance.

What type of extension cord to use with the Pattfield E-LS 2445 blower?

Use an extension cord approved for outdoor use with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm² and a plug with protective contact. The extension cord must be suitable for a power of 2400 W.

How to clean and maintain the device?

After each use, empty and clean the collection bag. Clean the ventilation slots and the device body with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or aggressive products. If the bag zipper jams, rub the teeth with dry soap.

Can I use the device in the rain?

No, the device must not be used in rain or snow. It is designed for use only in dry weather. Protect it from moisture to avoid any risk of electrocution.

Where to find spare parts for the E-LS 2445 model?

Spare parts are available from after-sales service. To order, have the device type, article number, identification number and required part number ready. Current information can be found at www.lsc-gmbh.info.

5.0 Assembly

5.1 Mounting the vacuum tube (Fig. 2, 3, 3a)
First plug together the front suction tube (1) and the rear suction tube (2). When the two parts engage correctly they make an audible click. Then affix the two tubes using the special screws size 4.2 × 18 ~mm (see arrows in Fig. 2).

With the locking screw in horizontal position, plug the vacuum tube into the motor housing.

Then use the supplied open-ended wrench to turn the lever catch (3) 90^ to the right (see Fig. 3a). The vacuum tube is now locked in place.

Important: Please note that the two suction tubes must always be joined together before they are mounted on the motor housing, and that they must never be taken apart when mounted!

Important: The garden blower vac is equipped with a safety lock-off switch which only works

GB

when the suction tube is mounted on the motor housing.

5.2. Fitting the rake and vacuum nozzle (Fig. 3b) The rake attachment (11) is connected to the vacuum tube. The vacuum nozzle (12) is used for vacuuming on level ground (e.g. tarmac or paving stones). When using the rake attachment or vacuum nozzle, the guide rollers (9) do not come into operation.

5.3. Mounting the debris bag (Fig. 4)

Slip the debris bag (7) over the socket on the motor housing. It engages correctly when it makes an audible click. Then hang the hook on the suction tube.

6.0 Prior to starting up

• Start up the tool only after it is fully assembled. Always inspect the tool power cord for damage before starting up. The tool may only be used if the cord is in flawless condition.

7.0 Starting up

7.1. Sizing the strap (Fig. 1)

• Size the length of the carrying strap (4) so that the vacuum tube just clears the ground. The guide rollers (9) at the bottom end of the suction tube will help you to maneuver the suction tube on the ground.

7.2. Connecting the tool to the power supply and switching on (Fig. 5, 6)

• Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling (extension).
• Secure the power cord (6) with the sleeve provided on the tool as shown.
• To switch on, push the ON/OFF switch (5) toward ON. To switch off, push the ON/OFF switch toward OFF.

7.3 Selecting the mode of operation

7.3.1 Vacuum (Abb. 7)

Turn the lever (8) all the way left to "Vacuum". You can do this regardless of whether the tool is running or not.

7.3.2 Blowing (Fig. 7)

• Turn the lever (8) all the way right to "Blower". You can do this regardless of whether the tool is

running or not.

• Channel the air stream forward and walk slowly to blow foliage or garden refuse into a pile or to clear out hard-to-reach places.

Important!

Empty the debris bag before blowing. Otherwise, the material that has been vacuumed up could drop out.

7.3.3 Emptying the debris bag and pre-screen (Fig. 1)

Empty the debris bag (7) in good time. When the bag is heavily loaded with material, vacuum power is considerably reduced. Deposit organic refuse at a compost site.

• Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
• Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and shake out the material.

8.0 Maintenance and cleaning

IMPORTANT!

All maintenance, service and cleaning work must be performed after the power cord has been pulled out.

• Do not use high-pressure cleaners or running water to clean the tool.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.
  After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould and unpleasant odors from forming.
• You can use soap and water to clean out a heavily soiled debris bag.
• Pub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
  Always keep the tool and ventilation slats clean.
• Use a damp rag to wipe dirt marks off of the tool. Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush upon evidence of dirt and grime.
• Dirt and grime can make the switch (blower/vacuum) more difficult to operate as a result of the material that swirls up off the ground. When this occurs, simply flip the switch back and forth a few times, which should bring it back to the normal feel.

9.0 Repair

Should the tool experience problems beyond those mentioned above, let only an authorized professiona or a customer service shop perform an inspection.
