Use

WARNING – Always take hold of the machine firmly
with both hands.
The vacuum is designed to be held in both hands (Fig. 66), with
the right hand on the control grip and the left hand on the grip
on the housing (Fig. 67). This applies for right-handed and left-
handed users alike.
Sling the collection bag over the right shoulder and insert the left
64
arm. The collection bag must always be fitted when the machine
is used as a vacuum.
The large diameter vacuum tube is able to pick up large leaves,
as well as fragments of cardboard and tree bark.
Take care not to vacuum up larger objects (wood, tin cans,
lengths of string or tape) that could obstruct or damage the
blades of the impeller (B, Fig.68).
Take care when vacuuming wet leaves, as these could clog the
impeller.
Take care not to block the vacuum tube as this could result in
over-revving and damage the engine.
65
CAUTION – Do not drag the end of the vacuum tube
along the ground (Fig.69).
CAUTION – Do not vacuum up abrasive materials,
such as sand or gravel, that could swiftly degrade the
impeller.
WARNING – Never vacuum up hot or burning substances,
or liquid fuels. Do not use the vacuum for inflammable
liquids or toxic substances (e.g. fuel) or even materials
that are impregnated with such substances. This could
66
cause fatal burns or explosion!
CAUTION – When vacuuming, abnormal noises or
fluctuations in engine rpm could indicate a blockage
internally of the machine. Switch off the engine
immediately, disconnect the vacuum tube and check
whether or not the internal ducts are obstructed by
debris (Fig.70). Clean the impeller housing if necessary
(C, Fig.71) undoing the seven screws (7) to gain access
to the inside.
