Suction operating mode:
In suction mode the device must
only be operated with the collec-
tion bag mounted.
• Put on the neck strap (28) and
adjust it to the optimal length.
• Always hold the device with
both hands during operation:
with your left hand at the handle
(4), with the right hand at the
suction pipe handle (15).
• Make sure the volumes of leaf
material sucked in at one time
are not too large. This will avoid
clogging of the blower / suction
tube and blockage of the impel-
ler wheel.
• For ground suction of leaves
or leaf residues, place the en-
closed flat nozzle onto the end
of the tube.
The ejection nozzle ensures ideal
transport of leaves into the leaf bag.
Additionally, it serves your safety by
preventing contact with the fan during
operation.
To reduce wear on the collec-
tion bag, do not drag it along the
ground while working.
If the device stops suddenly dur-
ing operation and does not pro-
duce any suction, then it is to be
switched off immediately. Make
sure that no material is wedged in
between the shredder impeller and
the casing. Carry out the work as
described in the chapter "Cleaning
and Maintenance". If the appliance
will not start, consult our Service
Centre.
Emptying the collection bag:
With full collection bag, the suction pump-
ing capacity decreases considerably and
the collection bag must be emptied when
the bag is full or interferes with the suction
capacity of the device.
Disconnect the spark plug terminal
before carrying out any work on the
equipment.
1. Turn off the device and wait until the
impeller has stopped.
2. Release the Velcro latch and remove
the collection bag (30) from the intake
pipe (29).
3. The carrying handle on the collection
bag makes it easier to transport the
bag.
4. Open the zip-fastener on the collection
bag and empty it completely.
5. Mount the emptied collection bag
again.
Composting material does not be-
long with domestic waste!
Cleaning and maintenance
Disconnect the spark plug terminal
before carrying out any work on the
equipment.
Leave all work not described in
this manual to our Service Cen-
tre. Only use original parts.
Before every use, check the leaf blower for
obvious deficiencies, such as loose, worn
or damaged parts and for correct seat-
ing of the parts. Replace damaged parts.
Check the bag regularly for wear and tear.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. By this means, a
long and reliable life is guaranteed.
