9. Operation

Sizing the strap

Size the length of the carrying strap 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.

Connecting the tool to the power supply and switching on (Fig. 1)

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 earthleakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating current must not exceed 30 mA.

- To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch (2).

- To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch (2).

Selecting the mode of operation

Suctioning (Fig. 9):

• Turn the selection handle (3) to position S. You can do this both when the device is at a standstill and while it is running.
• When suctioning, the device also works as a shredder what reduce the volume in ratio of 10:1. So there is more space for shredded material and it will be prepared for composting.

Blowing (Fig. 10):

• Turn the selection handle (3) 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.

Emptying the collection bag

Empty the collection bag (6) 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 collection bag (6) and shake out the material.
• Close the zip on the collection bag (6) again.

Speed control (Fig. 11)

The device is fitted with an electronic speed controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (8) 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.
