11.2 Leaf blower operation
m Risk of injury!
If you direct the airflow at other people, animals or ob-
jects (e.g. windows), this can cause injury and damage.
- Direct the air flow away from you.
- Never direct the airflow at other people, animals
or objects.
- Do not blow away hard objects such as stones or
branches.
Note
Always hold the product with both hands during the
work. Hold both handles (front and rear) with a firm grip.
• Place your left hand on the front handle (1) and your
right hand on the rear handle (5).
• Hold the product a few centimetres above the ground
and walk forward slowly, with a sweeping motion.
• You can use the wheels (10) for ergonomic opera-
tion. These enables the product to be moved simply
and easily over the surface.
11.3 Operating the leaf vacuum
During suction, the sucked-in leaves are shredded to
reduce volume, blown through the ejection port and
collected in the collection bag (8).
Note
Always hold the product with both hands during the
work. Hold both handles (front and rear) with a firm grip.
m Risk of injury!
If the collection bag is not secured during operation in
suction mode, this can lead to injuries from flying parts.
- Only use the leaf vacuum in suction mode when
the collection bag is properly fitted.
- Ensure that the collection bag is not damaged.
• Place your left hand on the front handle (1) and your
right hand on the rear handle (5).
• The collection bag (8) should be on the right side of
the operator.
• When used as a leaf vacuum, it is best to operate the
product at medium/high speed.
• Do not vacuum up too many leaves at once, this can
lead to clogging of the tube and the shredder. Do not
vacuum hard or wet materials.
• Use the wheels (10) for ergonomic operation. These
enables the product to be moved simply and easily
over the surface.
11.4 Empty the collection bag (8)
The collection bag (8) also works like a filter, similar to
an ordinary household vacuum cleaner. For this rea-
son, it is best not to fill the collection bag (8) completely
and remove bulky objects immediately.
1. Switch off the motor and wait until the product
comes to a complete stop.
2. Open the zip of the collection bag (8) and empty
the collection bag (8) without detaching it from the
outlet opening (14).
Note
When using the leaf vacuum, do not collect wet grass
or leaves, otherwise there is a risk of jamming the rotor
or the collection bag.
Note
If the collection bag (8) is too full this reduces the per-
formance of the product and can cause the motor to
overheat.
11.5 Remove blockage
m Risk of injury!
If you remove blockages with your bare hands, you
may injure yourself.
- Wear protective gloves.
- Use suitable tools (e.g. a wooden stick).
1. Switch off the motor and wait until the product
comes to a complete stop.
2. Pull out the mains plug.
3. Check the blast/suction tube for blockages. Gen-
tly tap the pipe or use a wooden stick to loosen
blockages. If necessary, tap the tube lightly on
the ground to loosen the blockage.
4. Check the ejection opening (14) for blockages. To
do so, remove the collection bag (8), as described
in section 9.3. Remove the blockage with a wood-
en stick if necessary.
Note!
For safety reasons, the locking screws (A) cannot
be removed once the blast/suction tube has been in-
stalled. This means that the blast/suction tube can no
longer be dismantled.
