or breakdown. Do not operate the product
again until it has been fully checked by an
authorised service centre.
■
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure to take
regular breaks.
BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions
to reduce the risk of injury associated with
the inhalation of dust.
■
Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
■
Do not use the product near open windows.
■
Use the full blower nozzle extension so that
the air stream can work close to the ground
and perform effectively.
■
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris
before blowing.
■
Do not point the blower nozzle in the
direction of people or pets.
■
Never place objects inside the blower tubes.
■
Do not place the product on top of or near
loose debris. Debris can be sucked into the
intake vent, resulting in possible damage to
the product.
VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
Before using the product in vacuum mode, the
upper and lower tubes must be assembled.
The assembly is a one-time operation only.
Never operate the vacuum with only the
upper vacuum tube fi tted. Failure to follow this
warning increases the risk of personal injury.
Without the lower vacuum tube fi tted, it is much
easier to reach up inside the tube towards the
fan blade.
■
Do not operate the vacuum without the
debris collector bag assembly installed.
Flying debris could cause serious injury.
Make sure that the debris collector bag is
in good condition and completely closed
before operating the product.
■
Move the vacuum from side to side along the
outer edge of the debris. To avoid clogging,
do not place the vacuum tube directly into
the debris pile.
■
Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of
the vacuum tube.
■
To avoid serious injury to the operator or
damage to the product, do not try to vacuum
up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or similar
objects.
■
Avoid situations that could cause fire in the
debris collector bag. Do not operate the product
near an open flame. Do not vacuum up warm
ash from fireplaces and barbecue pits. Do
not vacuum up discarded cigars or cigarettes
unless the cinders are completely cool.
■
Keep all parts of your body away from any
moving part. Rotating fan blades can cause
severe injury. Stop the motor and ensure
that fan blades have stopped rotating
before opening the vacuum door, installing
or changing tubes, or opening or removing
the debris bag.
■
When feeding material into the product,
make sure that the pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans, or other foreign objects are
not included.
■
Do not allow processed material to build
up in the discharge zone. This may prevent
proper discharge and can result in kickback
of material through the intake opening.
■
If the product becomes clogged, stop the
product and remove the battery pack before
cleaning the debris.
