Unpacking; Preparing Of The Blower Vac Prior To Use; Assembly; Fitting The Debris Collection Bag - Ikra IBV 3000 E Operating Instructions Manual

• Never try to bypass the safety device's locking
function.
• Switch off the machine before you attach or
remove the collection bag.
Pull the plug out of the socket and make sure
that all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill:
• Before leaving the Vac-Blower unattended for
period;
• Before clearing any blockage;
• Before checking, cleaning or carrying out any
work.
• After contact with a foreign object. Take the
following steps before you restart and operate
the machine:
- Inspect the machine for damage;
- Replace or repair damaged parts;
- Check for loose parts and tighten them.
• If a foreign body, or other debris, is accidentally
feed into the Vac-Blower, stop it immediately
and do not use the Vac-Blower until it has been
checked and you are sure that the entire Vac-
Blower is in a safe operating condition.
• If the leaf blower/vacuum makes unusual nois-
es or starts to vibrate, STOP the device im-
mediately and pull the plug out of the socket.
Make sure that all moving parts have come to
a complete standstill and find the cause. Re-
place or repair the damaged parts. Check the
device for loose parts and tighten them before
you restart and operate the machine. Exces-
sive vibration can damage the leaf blower/
vacuum and injure the operator.

Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Preparing of the blower vac prior to use

Warning!
The Vac-Blower must not be used or switched on
until it has been fully assembled.

Assembly

Intake/ Air outlet tube (Pic.2 and 3)

duct can be adjusted based on user height, adjust the
height up to 300 mm maximum, 30 mm is a height.
Fitting the debris collection bag (Pic.4 and 5)
Before fitting the debris collection bag ensure that the
Vacuum/Blow selector lever operates smoothly and that it
is not obstructed by debris from the previous use.
When users install the collection bag: turn the support
(4.1) frame into the correct position of housing and make

is provided to reduce fatigue and aid comfort when us-
ing the Vacuum-Blower. Never carry the belt diagonally
over shoulder and chest. Wear the strap only on one
shoulder, in this way you can remove the device in case
of danger fast.

Connect the mains cable with the tool's plug and secure
it with the strain relief bracket (7.1) as shown in Fig 7.
Only connect the device to a power source that is pro-
tected via a residual current protective device (RCD) with
a maximum release current of 30 mA.
