Operating Times

Please consider the individual country specifications.

Information on how to avoid noise:

Some noise exposure from this machine is unavoidable. Schedule noisy work to times during which it is allowed. Respect all rest times and restrict the work duration to the minimum. You as the operator and bystanders should wear a suited hearing protection.

Proper use

• The garden vac/blower/shredder is only suitable for light, dry materials, such as leaves and garden waste such as grass, small twigs and pieces of paper.
  ■ The vacuuming, blowing and shredding of

▶ heavy materials, such as metal, stones, branches, fir cones or broken glass
▶ combustible materials such as cigarette butts, barbecue coal
▶ flammable, toxic or explosive materials is explicitly forbidden.

• Never use the machine in areas with harmful dust and liquids or as a wet vacuuming machine, because of the risk of physical injury.
• Any other use than for vacuuming, blowing and shredding is not allowed.
• The garden vac/blower/shredder is only designed for private use in accordance with its proper purpose.
• Regarded as machine for private gardens and allotments are those units which are not employed in public grounds, parks, sports grounds, and in agriculture and forestry.
• Every other form of use is considered improper use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages resulting from improper use, and any risk is in this case borne solely by the user.

• The intended usage also includes compliance with the operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the manufacturer and following the safety instructions included in the instructions.

• The relevant accident prevention regulations for the operation as well as the other generally acknowledged occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied with.

• Unauthorised modifications at the garden vac will exempt the manufacturer from any liability for damages of any kind arising from this.
• Only persons who are familiarised with the device and informed about possible risks are allowed to prepare, operate and service this device. Repair works may only be carried out by us or by a customer service agent nominated by us.
• The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive environment or be exposed to the rain.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design determined by the intended purpose.

Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety information” and the “Intended usage” as well as the whole of the operating instructions are observed.

Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.

• Failure to observe the safety precautions can lead to injury to the operator or damage to property.
  ■ Stones and soil may be thrown off.
• Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical connections.
  ■ Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
• Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for longer periods of time without ear protection.

In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Vibrations

Hand arm vibration a_vhw = 3.70 m/s^2

Measuring uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s^2

The indicated vibration emission level has been measured according to a standardised test method and can be used to compare power tools.

It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration exposure.

⚠ The actual vibration emission level during the use of the machine may differ from that indicated in the operating instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.

This may be caused by the following factors to be minded before and during the use:

– Proper use of the machine
– Proper condition of the machine for use
- Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly mounted on the machine body

When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on your hands during the use of the machine, stop working immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration syndrome.

The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions in the manual. If you intend to use this machine frequently, contact your local authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration accessories if required. Avoid the use of this machine at temperatures under 10°C. Create a work schedule in order to minimise vibration exposure.

Working instructions

Before starting any work read and understand

▶ the safety notes,
▶ following additional instructions on how to work with this machine.

Carry out the following checks before startup and regularly during work: Observe the relevant sections in the operating instructions:

Before start of work

• Check the device before each use: for possible damages
• Wear your safety gear Make sure to have a safe and tidied up work area. Remove from the working area objects which might be thrown off (e.g. stones).
• Do not work in bad weather conditions (e.g. rain, risk of lightning).
  ■ Make sure that:
• no other persons or animals stay within the working area,
  — you can always step back without any barriers,
• you have always a secure standing position.
  – handles and mountings are dry and clean.

- The following is recommended before starting the blowing/suction:

- use a rake and broom to loosen dirt - slightly wet dusty areas

- Never point the suction/blow tube to yourself or other person or animals. Never blow objects in the direction of people of animals.

GB

While working:

• Spectators must observe safety clearance of min. 5 m.
• Beware of swirling and flying objects. Be particularly aware of recoiling effects from brickwork or house walls (e.g. stones).
  ■ Switch off the machine before crossing gravel or grit paths.
• Only operate the machine in walking speed, do not run with it.
• Do not fill anything by hand into the suction hole.
• Never put objects manually into the suction opening.
• Always ensure that the connection lead runs back away from the machine. Otherwise there is a risk of stumbling, slipping or falling.

■ Never use the machine

- without the bag,

– without closing the zip fastener of the bag

- Immediately switch off the unit and allow it to come to a stop if foreign objects enter the unit or if the unit starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the mains plug and carry out the following checks:

– inspect for damage,

– have damaged parts replaced or repaired,

– check the equipment and tighten loose parts.

Before using the machine, ensure that the bag has been fitted, is not damaged or worn and the zip fastener has been closed.

Power off the machine before attaching or removing the collecting bag.

Instructions for using as vac/shredder

→ Hold the machine firmly at the handle and place the belt over your shoulder. Adjust the belt so that the machine can be carried comfortably and safely.

Switch the machine on.

Move the machine slowly and evenly over the material. not press it into the leaves.

The suction power decreases when the bag is full. Switch the machine off and disconnect from the mains. Open the zip fastener and empty the bag.

15 After finishing work, move the changeover switch to the blowing setting to remove any remains from the suction/blowing pipe.

Take up leaves in good time! – It is advisable to take up fallen leaves when the weather is dry and as soon as they have fallen. Wet leaves are a problem, together with leaves that have already begun to rot or are on big piles.

Using the Vacuum Booster

The Vacuum Booster (11) can be used for vacuuming most foliage and increases the suction power.

Insert it into the recesses in the front of the suction pipe (9).

Move the suction pipe over the material to be sucked up. Small stones, which are sucked in as well, do not get into the chipping turbine for the most part.

After switching off the leaf sucker, the small stones fall out again.

If you want to vacuum heavy and large leaves, remove the insert.

Instructions for use as blower

Move the changeover switch to the blowing setting.

→ Hold the machine firmly at the handle and place the belt over your shoulder. Adjust the belt so that the machine can be carried comfortably and safely.

Switch the machine on.

18 Move the suction/blowing pipe in generous swaying movements uniformly a few centimetres over the ground, moving from one side to the other.

Blow in the direction of the wind
