Working with the device

The device may only be used
for the following purposes:
- As a blower to pile up dry
leaf material or to blow ma-
terial out of places that are
hard to access (e.g. under
cars)
- As a suction device to suck
up dry leaf material. The de-
vice also functions as a shred-
der in the suction function.
The dry leaves are shredded
and their volume is reduced,
preparing the material for
later composting if desired.
The shredding intensity de-
pends on the size of the leaf
material and its residual
moisture.
Uses other than those de-
scribed here may damage the
machine and put the operator
at risk.
During work, ensure that the device
is not struck against hard objects,
which can cause damage. Do
not suck up any solid bodies such
as stones, branches or pieces of
branch, fir cones or similar, since
these can damage the device, in
particular the shredding mechanism.
Repairs of this type are not covered
by the guarantee.
Pull out mains plug immedi-
ately if the impeller wheel
is blocked or if the cable is
damaged or gets wound
around something! Danger of
electric shock!

Blowing operating mode:
• Set the operating mode selector switch
( C 16) to the symbol
Operation").
• You get optimal results when you use
the blower with a separation distance
to the ground of 5 -10 cm.
• Direct the airstream away from your-
self. Ensure that you do not to stir up
any heavy objects and hurt somebody
or damage something.
• Begin work with the highest blowing
power, in order to rapidly pile up the
leaves lying around. Select a lower
blowing power to compact the previ-
ously piled up leaves.
• Before blowing, loosen leaves adhering
to the ground with a broom or rake.
• The guide rollers at the end of the tube
make it easier to work on flat surfaces.
Suction operating mode:
• Set the operating mode selector switch
to the symbol
tion"). Check whether the collection
bag ( A 18) is correctly assembled.
• Make sure the volumes of leaf material
sucked in at one time are not too large.
This will avoid clogging of the blower /
suction tube and blockage of the impel-
ler wheel ( D 24).
• For ground suction of leaves or leaf
residues, place the enclosed flat nozzle
onto the end of the tube.
The ejection nozzle ensures ideal
transport of leaves into the leaf bag.
Additionally, it serves your safety by
preventing contact with the fan dur-
ing operation.
