11.6 Overload protection
In the event of overloading, the motor switches itself
off. Switch the product off and pull out the mains plug.
Then check whether there is a blockage or jam and re-
move it. The product is only ready for use again after it
has cooled down completely.
12. Working instructions
• Before switching on the product, make sure that it is
not directed towards people or animals.
• Always hold the product with both hands during the
work. Hold both handles (front and rear) with a firm
grip.
• The product must only be operated at reasonable
times - not early in the morning or late at night when
others may be disturbed. The times listed with the
local authorities must be followed.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen up waste before
blowing.
• Lightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
13. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the appli-
cable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
34 | GB
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are dis-
connected from electrical power when checking for
damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables of the same designation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
For single-phase AC motors, we recommend a fuse
rating of C 16A or K 16A for products with a high start-
ing current (from 3000 watts)!
Connection type X
If the mains connection cable of this product is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by a special connection ca-
ble which can be obtained from the manufacturer or its
service department.
14. Cleaning
Warning!
Only carry out maintenance, modification, adjustment
and cleaning work when the motor is switched off and
the mains is disconnected.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the engine
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the
product clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the product directly
after every use.
• Clean the product at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the product. Make sure that no water can
penetrate the interior of the product. Water penetra-
tion increases the risk of an electric shock.
• Never immerse the product in water or other liquids
for cleaning.
