ing if desired. The shredding
intensity depends on the size
of the leaf material and its
residual moisture.
Uses other than those described
here may damage the machine
and put the operator at risk.
During work, ensure that the device
is not struck against hard objects,
which can cause damage. Do
not suck up any solid bodies such
as stones, branches or pieces of
branch, fir cones or similar, since
these can damage the device, in
particular the shredding mechanism.
Repairs of this type are not
covered by the guarantee.

to the ground of 5 -10 cm.
• Begin work with the highest blowing

• Before blowing, loosen leaves adhering
to the ground with a broom or rake.
• The guide rollers at the end of the tube
make it easier to work on flat surfaces.
