5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
Press the handle lock (Fig. 3a/Item 11) and swing up
the handle tube (Fig. 3a/Item 2) as far as the stop.
Make sure the handle tube engages correctly as
shown in Figure 3b. Fit the debris bag together with
the feet into the recesses on the equipment as shown
in Figure 4a and swing up the top part. Make sure the
top part engages correctly as shown in Figure 4b.
Start up the tool only after the mounting has been
fully completed. Always inspect the tool power cable
for damage before starting up. The tool may only be
used if the cord is in flawless condition.
6. Operation
6.1 Connecting the tool to the power supply and
switching on (Fig. 6)
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 earth-
leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating
current must not exceed 30 mA.
b
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling
(extension).
b
Secure the power cord with the sleeve provided
on the tool as shown.
b
To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch
(Fig. 6/Item 5).
b
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch (Fig.
6/Item 5).
6.2 Emptying the debris bag and pre-screen
(Fig. 1)
Empty the debris bag (7) in good time. When the bag
is heavily loaded with material, vacuum power is
considerably reduced. Deposit organic refuse at a
compost site.
b
Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
b
Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and
shake out the material.
b
Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.

6.3 Selecting the mode of operation
6.3.1 Suctioning (Fig. 5a)
b
Turn the lever (Fig. 5a/Item 9) to position A. You
can do this both when the device is at a standstill
and while it is running.
6.3.2 Blowing (Fig. 5a)
b
Turn the lever (Fig. 5b/Item 9) to position B. You
can do this both when the device is at a standstill
and while it is running.
b
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.
b
Important!
Empty the debris bag before blowing.
Otherwise, the material that has been
vacuumed up could drop out.
6.4 Speed control (Fig. 6)
The device is fitted with an electronic speed
controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 6/
Item 10) 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.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out
and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould
