GB
With the Vacuum-Blower resting on its wheels
move the Vacuum-Blower forwards directing the
nozzle at the debris to be collected. Alternatively
with the Vacuum-Blower held just above the
ground swing the machine from side to side,
moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the
debris to be collected. Do not force the nozzle
into the debris as this will block the suction tube
and reduce the efficiency of the machine.
Organic materials such as leaves contain a large
amount of water that can cause them to stick to the
inside of the suction tube. To reduce sticking the
material should be left for a few days to dry out.

Important
If the cleaning flap is not closed and correctly
screwed down the device cannot be operated.
Cleaning and Storage
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tight and that the guards are fitted correctly.
All damaged and worn parts should be replaced
in order to maintain the Vacuum-Blower in a
safe working condition.
Never leave material in the Vacuum-Blower or
the debris collection bag. This could be dangerous
when starting the Vacuum-Blower.
After use the Vacuum-Blower should be thoroughly
cleaned.
Ensure that the Vacuum-Blower is switched
off and disconnected from the mains supply.
Remove and empty the debris collection bag.
Ensure that the Vacuum / Blow selector lever
operates smoothly and that it is not obstructed
by debris. Brush any loose debris from around
the fan and inside the suction/blower tube.
Do not use any type of cleaning solvent on the
plastic parts of the Vacuum-Blower.
Power Cord Maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must
be carried out by the manufacturer, the manu-
facturer's agent, or an authorised service centre
in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Troubleshooting

Attention! Always remove the plug
from the mains socket before starting
any work on the machine.
• The machine won't start: Check whether the
switch is in the "ON" position; check that the
residual current circuit breaker is not switched
off and that no fuses have blown in its electric
circuit. If the machine still won't start have it in-
spected by an authorised customer service firm.
• The machine won't vacuum: Check whether
the leaf collection bag is full. If it is, empty it;
check whether the lever for the reversing flap is in
the correct position, otherwise have the machine
inspected by an authorised customer service firm.
• The machine won't blow: Check whether
the lever for the reversing flap is in the correct
