Working instructions
⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury! Always wear appropriate protective equipment and work gloves while working with the machine. Make sure that the machine is in working order before each use. Ensure that the collection bag and pipe are installed correctly. Personal protective equipment and a fully functional machine reduce the risk of injuries and accidents.
- Use hearing protection
- As a blower for piling up dry foliage or blowing it out of hard-to-reach places.
- As a vacuum for vacuuming up dry foliage. The machine also serves as a shredder in suction mode.
The dry leaves are shredded, their volume reduced and prepared for possible composting. The intensity of the shredding depends on the size of the leaves and the residual moisture they contain. Any use other than that which is described above
can damage the machine and thus pose a risk to the user.
⚠ WARNING! When working with the machine, take care not to knock it against hard objects that could cause damage. Do not vacuum up solid objects such as stones, branches or branch cuttings, fir cones or similar, as these could damage the machine, especially the shredding unit. Repairs of this kind are not covered by the warranty.
Blowing mode
- Close the protective cover before operation.
- For best results with the blower, maintain a distance of 5-10 cm from the ground.
- Direct the flow of air away from you. Be careful not to catch any heavy objects in the jet of air which could cause injuries or damage.
- Start work with the highest blowing power to quickly collect the leaves lying around. Select a lower blowing power to compact the previously collected pile of leaves.
- Before blowing, use a broom or rake to loosen any leaves stuck to the ground.
- Hold the machine by the handle or by the handle and auxiliary handle when working.
Suction mode
- Always hold the machine tight with both hands during operation: Use the handle and the auxiliary handle for this.
- Make sure that not too many leaves are sucked in at the same time. This prevents the suction pipe from clogging and blocking the impeller.
