PROPER USE

The machine should only be used in the following two ways:
as a vacuum cleaner for dry leaves and pieces of paper or
as a blower for gathering together piles of dry leaves or for
moving leaves from inaccessible areas (e.g. from beneath
cars). When working as a vacuum, the machine also acts as
a shredder, reducing the size of the leaves by a ratio of 10:
1. This allows the volume to be reduced and the preparation
of the leaves for use as compost. Any other use not stared
in this instruction manual may damage the machine and can
be dangerous for the user.
To maintain your rights under the warranty and in the interest
of products safety, please observe the safety regulations.
