Wear safety goggles while you work.
Use a dust mask when working on dusty jobs
Always check the tool, the power cable and the extension cable before using the tool. Only operate the tool when it is in good working order and is not damaged in any way. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately by a qualified

electrician.

• Never use the tool if any of its safety devices or guards are damaged or if any safety attachments such as deflectors and/or grass catching devices are missing.
• When working outdoors, use only extension cables which are approved for outdoor use. Extension cables must have a minimum cross-section of 1.5mm^2 . The plug connections must be splash-proof.

Operation

Always trail the power cable behind the tool.
- If the power cable or extension cable is damaged, pull the plug out of the socket. NEVER TOUCH THE CABLE BEFORE THE PLUG HAS BEEN PULLED OUT OF THE SOCKET.

-Do not carry the tool by its power cable.
Always pull out the power plug:

• when the tool is not being used, when it is being transported or when you leave it unsupervised.
• when you are checking the tool, cleaning it or removing blockages.
• when you want to carry out cleaning or maintenance work on the tool or replace accessories.

• after the tool impacts with foreign bodies or you notice unusual vibrations.

• Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
  -Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
  -If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.

• Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold particularly while working on slopes.
  Always walk. Never run.
  Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the vacuum/blow hole at persons or animals.
  The machine may only be used at reasonable times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late evening when it will be a nuisance to other people. Permitted times of use specified by local authorities must be observed.
  The machine must be run at the lowest possible motor speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush before starting any blowing work.
  Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that the air current can work near to the ground.

GB

• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and blow the foreign objects safely away from them.

Maintenance and storage

• Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely tightened in order to be sure that the machine is in a safe working condition.

6. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

6.1. Mounting the vacuum tube (Fig. 3a-3g)

Plug together the front and rear suction tube (Fig. 3a) and secure with the screw (Fig. 3b / Item 12).
Now slide the complete suction tube into the motor housing (Fig. 3c) and secure with the screw (Fig. 3d / Item 13+14).
- Slide the wheel support (Fig. 3e / Item 11) onto the front suction tube as far as the stop (Fig. 3e / Item A) and secure with the screw (Fig. 3e/Item B).
- Remove the thumb screw (Fig. 3f / Item A) and secure the axle (Fig. 3g / Item 9) with the thumb screw.
- When the thumb screw is slackened, the axle can be adjusted in height in accordance with the relevant requirements. Then retighten the thumb screw.

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

6.2. Mounting the debris bag (Fig. 4a + 4b)

Hang the hook on the suction tube (Fig. 4a) Then slip the debris bag over the socket on the motor housing (Fig. 4b). It engages correctly when it makes an audible click.

Start up the tool only after the mounting has been fully completed. Always inspect the tool power cable for damage before starting up. The tool may only be used if the cord is in flawless condition.

GB

7. Operation

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. Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 5)

To do so, undo the lever (Fig. 5 / Item A) by flipping it open. Now set the additional handle (Fig. 5 / Item 3) to the required position and flip back the lever.

7.3 Connecting the tool to the power supply and switching on (Fig. 6)

The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with 230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse or higher. The socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by an earthquake circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating current must not exceed 30mA .

Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling (extension).
- Secure the power cord with the sleeve provided on the tool as shown.
To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch (5).
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch (5).

7.4 Selecting the mode of operation

7.4.1 Suctioning (Fig. 7)

Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position A. You can do this both when the device is at a standstill and while it is running.

7.4.2 Blowing (Fig. 7)

• Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position B. You can do this both when the device is at a standstill and while it is running.

• 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.

7.5 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.

Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.

7.6 Speed control (Fig. 8a)

The device is fitted with an electronic speed controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 8a/ Item 10) to the desired position. Use the device only with the speed which is actually required and do not let it run at a speed which is faster than necessary.

8. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

9. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

9.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
  Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
  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.
  Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
  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.
  To clean the interior of the housing undo the screw connection (Fig. 8a / Item A) and remove the cover (Fig. 8a / Item B). Never use cleaning

agents or liquids for cleaning purposes. Remove deposits with a brush, a dry cloth or compressed air. When you fit the cover, make sure that the nib at the bottom end of the cover (Fig. 8b / Item A) is inserted into the corresponding recess in the housing (Fig. 8b / item B).

Important: If the cover is not correctly closed, a microswitch will interrupt the power supply and the equipment cannot operate properly. For this reason, always check that the cover is properly fitted and secured.

9.2 Maintenance

Should the tool experience problems beyond those mentioned above, let only an authorized professional or a customer service shop perform an inspection.
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

9.3 Ordering replacement parts:
