7. Operation
7.1 Sizing the strap (Fig. 1)
Size the length of the carrying strap (4) so that the
vacuum tube just clears the ground. The guide rollers
(9) at the bottom end of the suction tube will help you
to maneuver the suction tube on the ground.
7.2. Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 5c)
Undo the lever (Fig. 5c/Item B) by flipping it open.
Now set the additional handle (Fig. 5c/Item 3) to the
required position and flip back the lever.
7.3 Connecting the tool to the power supply and
switching on (Fig. 7-8)
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with
230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse or higher.
The socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by an earth-
leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating
current must not exceed 30 mA.

(extension).
b Secure the power cord with the sleeve provided
on the tool as shown.

b Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and
shake out the material.
b Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.
7.6 Speed control (Fig. 1)
The device is fitted with an electronic speed
controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 1/
Item 10) to the desired position. Use the device only
with the speed which is actually required and do not
let it run at a speed which is faster than necessary.

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts

any cleaning work.
9.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out
n
and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould
and unpleasant odors from forming.
You can use soap and water to clean out a
n
heavily soiled debris bag.
Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if
n
the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush upon
n
evidence of dirt and grime.
