housing; it engages correctly when it makes an
audible click (Fig. 4b).
Start up the equipment only when fully assem-
bled. Always inspect the power cable for damage
before starting up. The equipment may be used
only if the cable is in fl awless condition.

6. Operation

6.1 Sizing the strap (Fig. 1)
Size the length of the carrying strap (4) so that the
vacuum tube just clears the ground. The guide
rollers (9) at the bottom end of the suction tube
will help you to maneuver the suction tube on the
ground.
6.2. Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 5)
To do so, undo the lever (Fig. 5 / Item A) by fl ip-
ping it open. Now set the additional handle (Fig.
5 / Item 3) to the required position and fl ip back
the lever.
6.3 Connecting the tool to the power supply
and switching on (Fig. 6)
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet
(with 230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse
or higher. The socket-outlet has to be safeguar-
ded by an earth-leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.).
The operating current must not exceed 30 mA.
•
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coup-
ling (extension).
•
Secure the power cord with the sleeve provi-
ded on the tool as shown (Fig. 6).
•
To switch on, press the On/Off switch (5).
•
To switch off, let go of the On/Off switch (5).
6.4 Selecting the mode of operation
6.4.1 Suctioning (Fig. 7)
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) completly to position
A. You can do this both when the device is at a
standstill and while it is running.
6.4.2 Blowing (Fig. 7)
•
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) completly to po-
sition B. You can do this both when the device
is at a standstill and while it is running.
•
Channel the air stream forward and walk
slowly to blow foliage or garden refuse into a
pile or to clear out hard-to-reach places.
•
Important! Empty the debris bag before
blowing. Otherwise, the material that has

GB
been vacuumed up could drop out.
6.5 Emptying the debris bag and pre-screen
(Fig. 1)
Empty the debris bag (7) in good time. When
the bag is heavily loaded with material, vacuum
power is considerably reduced. Deposit organic
refuse at a compost site.
•
Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
•
Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and
shake out the material.
•
Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.
6.6 Speed control (Fig. 8a)
The device is fi tted with an electronic speed con-
troller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 8a/
Item 10) to the desired position. Use the device
only with the speed which is actually required and
do not let it run at a speed which is faster than
necessary.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
