Suction operating mode:
For safety reasons, both suction
tube sections and the collection
bag must be correctly mounted
before you can start the device.
• Always hold the device tight with both
hands during operation: use the han-
dle (3) and the additional handle (10)
for this.
• Make sure the volumes of leaf material
sucked in at one time are not too large.
This will avoid clogging of the suction
tube (17) and blockage of the impeller
wheel.
To reduce wear on the collec-
tion bag, do not drag it along the
ground while working.
Overload protection: The motor
will cut out immediately if over-
loaded.
Turn the leaf vacuum off and
remove the mains plug. Then
check whether the impeller is
blocked or the collection bag
clogged and remove the obstacles
if they are.
The tool cannot be used until it has
completely cooled down again.
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.

Composting material does not be-
long with domestic waste!
Always clean the device
immediately after working with
it, as otherwise dirt will become
hardened and firmly attached
with leaf residues and might
prove impossible to remove
without dismantling the motor
housing. Such cleaning work is
not covered by the warranty.
