– Voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
– Check the connecting cord, plug
and extension cord for damage.
Never use damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with
regulations.
– Always connect the power tool to a
properly installed wall outlet.
– Check that the insulation of the
power cord, extension cord, plug
and coupling is in good condition.
Position the connecting and extension
cords correctly:
– Check minimum cross section of
wires (wire gauge) – see
"Connecting to Power Supply".
– To reduce the risk of stumbling,
position and mark the connecting
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
– The extension cord's plug and
coupling must be splash-proof or
positioned in such a way that they
do not come into contact with water
– do not immerse in water.
– Do not chafe on edges, pointed or
sharp objects
– Do not squeeze through gaps in
doors or windows
– If cords are twisted – unplug the
power tool and straighten them out
– Always unwind the extension cord
completely from the cable drum to

Using the Blower
Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It can be carried by the
control handle in either the right or left
hand.
Always hold the power tool firmly in your
hand.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
To reduce the risk of injury,
operate the unit only with a
properly mounted blower tube.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle (either included with
power tool or available as special
accessory) produces a broad and
powerful airstream at ground level. It can
be aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on flat surfaces.
Using the Vacuum Attachment
For specific assembling instructions,
see appropriate chapter in this manual.
Your vacuum shredder is designed for
two-handed operation. Hold and operate
the power tool with your right hand on
the control handle and your left hand on
the assist handle (union nut).
Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap
over your right shoulder, not across your
chest. This enables you to quickly
remove the power tool and catcher bag
in an emergency.
