remove the collection bag.
Pull the plug out of the socket and make sure
that all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill:
• Before leaving the Vac-Blower unattended for
period;
• Before clearing any blockage;
• Before checking, cleaning or carrying out any
work.
• After contact with a foreign object. Take the
following steps before you restart and operate
the machine:
- Inspect the machine for damage;
- Replace or repair damaged parts;
- Check for loose parts and tighten them.
• If a foreign body, or other debris, is accidentally
feed into the Vac-Blower, stop it immediately
and do not use the Vac-Blower until it has been
checked and you are sure that the entire Vac-
Blower is in a safe operating condition.

place or repair the damaged parts. Check the
device for loose parts and tighten them before

sive vibration can damage the leaf blower/
vacuum and injure the operator.

Intended use

The leaf vac is exclusively used in the two fol-
lowing ways:
1. As a leaf vac for vacuuming up dry leaves.
2. As a blower it is used to collect together dry
leaves or to remove them from inaccessible
places (e.g. under vehicles).
In suction mode it also works as a shredder,
where the volume of the leaves is reduced by
a ratio of approx. 10:1 and takes up less space
in the leaf collection bag and the collected ma-
terial is simultaneously prepared for possible
composting.
Each type of use other than those given in these
instructions for use can damage the machine
and cause serious risk to the user.
Please always observe the safety instructions in
order to safeguard your guarantee claim and in
the interests of product safety.
Residual dangers
Residual risks always remain even if the hedge
trimmer is used properly. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protec-
tion is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibra-
tions if the equipment is used over a pro-
longed period or is not properly guided and
maintained.

Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
