6.2.2 Machine operating test
Action
1. Start the machine
(par. 6.3 )
1. Move the switch to
the stop position
"0" (Fig. 9 )
If any of the results fail to match the
indications provided in the tables, do not use
the machine! Take it to a service centre to be
checked and repaired if necessary.

6.3 START-UP

1. Adopt a firm and well-balanced position;
2. Make sure that the blower/vacuum tube is not
directed towards any bystanders or debris;
Make sure the switch is in the "0"
position..
3. Insert the batteries (Fig.11.A) into the battery
compartment, pushing them in until a ''click''
sound is heard, which locks them in place and
ensures electrical contact.
NOTE The machine only works if both batteries
are inserted.
4. Select the operating mode you want to use by
moving the switch control lever (Fig.8).
5. Move the switch to the start position (Fig. 9).
Starting the machine causes the
rotor to start rotating at the same time.

6.4 OPERATION

The machine must always be held firmly
with both hands on the hand grips during
work.
NOTE During use, the battery is protected
against total drainage with a protective device
that switches off the machine and stops it from
working.
No signs of damage
or wear
No abnormal vibrations.
No abnormal sound
Result
The machine starts and
the rotor starts rotating.
1. The switch should
move easily and the
machine should stop.
6.4.1 Advice for operation
1. Proceed slowly keeping the end of the blower
tube at a suitable distance from the ground
(Fig. 7).
2. To avoid dispersing the material to be
removed, direct the air flow towards the outer
edges of the pile of material. Never direct the
air flow to the middle of the pile.
3. Always hold the unit firmly by both handles.
4. When operating the unit as a shredder use the
shoulder strap.
6.4.2 Air grilles
Never cover the air grilles. Always keep them free
from blockages and debris. Grilles must always
be kept clean to allow the motor to be cooled
efficiently
6.4.3 Blower function
1. Turn the switch control lever onto the " BLOW"
position (Fig.8.A)
2. Hold the blower firmly.
3. Direct the air jet forward and blow from side to
side while keeping the nozzle at an adequate
distance from the ground or the flooring. Move
forward slowly, keeping the accumulated pile
of debris in front of you at all times.
6.4.4 Vacuum/shredder function
1. Turn the switch control lever onto the " VAC"
position (Fig.8.B)
2. Hold the vacuum firmly.
3. The guide wheels (Fig.1.I), at the end of the
vacuum tube, are used to guide the vacuum
tube more easily along the ground.
4. Small debris such as leaves and branches
will be shredded as they pass through the fan
housing.
5. Empty the bag often to ensure a prolonged life
and better performance.
6.4.5 Speed adjustment
It is always advisable to set the speed of the rotor
depending on the type of material to be removed:
– medium blowing speed, for light materials
and small shrubs on the lawn, to move grass
and small leaves on asphalt or solid ground;
– maximum blowing speed, for wet leaves,
heavier material, such as fresh snow or bulky
rubbish.
