Intended Use; Unpacking - Ikra HLSI 250 Gebrauchsanweisung

Intended use

The leaf vac is exclusively used in the two following
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 material is simultaneously prepared for
possible composting.
Each type of use other than those given in these instruc-
tions 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. Due to the machine's design, we are
unable to fully exclude all residual risks.

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.
