1.8 Working with the machine

!
Only use this power tool when it is complete and in a safe condition.
As soon as the engine is running, the power tool generates toxic gases, which may be invisible and odourless.
Never work with the power tool in enclosed spaces. In confined conditions such pits or excavations, ensure
adequate air changes during work.
Do not smoke at the work site and in the immediate vicinity of the power tool. There is an increased fire hazard!
!
Work conscientiously, thoughtfully and calmly, and do not endanger third parties.
- Pay attention to good visibility and lighting conditions.
- Always remain within earshot of other people who can provide help in case of emergency.
- Pay attention to possible hazards and take appropriate precautions. Be aware that wearing ear defenders reduces
the ability to perceive noise. This includes sounds alerting to danger such as signals, shouts, etc. that can go
unnoticed.
- Always grasp the power tool firmly and always pay attention to safe and stable standing position.
- Exercise caution when the ground is wet or covered in ice and snow, on overhangs, or uneven terrain. There is an
increased risk of slipping!
- Pay attention to the risk of stumbling and obstacles, such as tree roots and stumps, edges, etc. Pay particular
attention to safety when working on slopes.
- Never blow in the direction of other people, as smaller objects can be forced upward at high speeds.
- Use the power tool at lowest possible noise and exhaust levels. Only open the throttle when working, do not let the
engine run unnecessarily. Please note that noise also impacts on the environment. Observe the quiet times that
can vary from place to place.
!
Switch the engine off if the device behaves in any way unusually.
!
Never touch the exhaust or the silencer; as long as they are still hot, there is a risk of burns!
!
Never work with a defective or missing silencer. There is a hazard of hearing damage and burning!

For vacuuming, the power tool may only be used with attached collection bag. Hang the carrying strap over the
shoulder. Always hold power tool with two hands by the two handles.
!
Never vacuum up hot materials or burning materials, (no ashes, burning cigarettes etc.), there is a fire injury hazard.
Also flammable liquids (for example gasoline), or materials, that are wet with such materials may not be vacuumed
up. There is a hazard of fatal injury caused by explosion or fire!
!
Ensure that no branches, fabric, rags, mineral material (gravel, stones, etc.), metallic materials or other substances
are collected, for which the equipment is not designed. Such material could damage the machine.
!
Never use the Hand-held Vac 441 on substrates covered by gravel or other hard materials, which might damage the
equipment.
!
If the vacuum tube is not mounted, then the blower cover must always be closed until it catches. Rotating parts can
lead to serious injuries. Also damage could occur to the motor.
