Working Instructions - Scheppach 5911104903 Original Bedienungsanleitung

For this reason it is best that:
• it is always free to expand and the support strap
is not tangled.
• it is not fully filled.
• collected objects that could jeopardise integrity are
promptly removed.
To empty the bag:
• switch the engine off.
• open the zipper (1) and empty the bag without dis-
connecting it from the fitting tube.
IMPORTANT When used as a vacuum collector do
not collect damp grass or leaves to avoid
clogging the rotor and bag.
IMPORTANT When using the machine as a vacuum
collector, there is a risk of inadvertently suctioning
objects which can obstruct the machine and block
the rotor. In this case:
• switch the motor off immediately - remove the spark
plug cap.
• disassemble the vacuum tube.
• remove the foreign body from inside the vacuum
inlet.
Check that nothing is blocking the rotor before using
the machine again.
IMPORTANT A too full bag reduces the machine's
efficiency and could cause the engine to over heat.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
• Switch off the engine as indicated above
• Empty the bag if used as a vacuum collector.
TUNING IDLE SPEED (fig. 5)
Idling must be adjusted when the engine tends to
turn off or no significant speed differences are noted
when using the throttle.
Adjustment is performed after starting the engine
and letting it run idle for several minutes, using the
screw (D):
• turn clockwise to increase engine rpm;
• turn counter-clockwise to decrease engine rpm.
After adjusting, the engine should idle without irregu-
larities or pauses.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Emergency Stopping Procedure:
• When it is necessary to stop blower engine imme-
diately, DEPRESS the switch to OFF.
Normal procedure:
• To stop the motor, push back the throttle lever lock,
so that the motor runs in idling mode. Finally move
the ON/OFF switch to "OFF".

Operation
• Do not smoke while refuelling or operating equip-
ment.
• Do not touch or let your hands or body come in
contact with a hot muffler or spark plug wire.
• Due to the danger of exhaust fumes, never oper-
ate blower in a confined or poorly ventilated area.
• Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit
conditions.
• Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your balance
at all times.
• If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.
• Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold particu-
larly while working on slopes.
• Always walk. Never run.
• Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the blow hole at persons or animals.
• The machine may only be used at reasonable times
of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late even-
ing when it will be a nuisance to other people. Per-
mitted times of use specified by local authorities
must be observed.
• The machine must be run at the lowest possible
motor speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush
before starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface
a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that
the air current can work near to the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and
blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
• If the device makes abnormal noises or has unu-
sually high levels of vibration, it must be checked.
Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the
operator and damage the unit.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example
debris collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable ma-
terials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders.
Blower and vac mode
• Select the blow function using the selector lever
on the side of the machine and switch on.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground
and swing the machine from side to side, moving
forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be
cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap.
