Proper use

The garden vac/blower/shredder is only suitable for light, dry
materials, such as leaves and garden waste such as grass,
small twigs and pieces of paper.
The vacuuming, blowing and shredding of
heavy materials, such as metal, stones, branches, fir
cones or broken glass
combustible materials such as cigarette butts, barbecue
coal
flammable, toxic or explosive materials
is explicitly forbidden.
Never use the machine in areas with harmful dust and liquids
or as a wet vacuuming machine, because of the risk of
physical injury.
Any other use than for vacuuming, blowing and shredding is
not allowed.
The garden vac/blower/shredder is only designed for private
use in accordance with its proper purpose.
Regarded as machine for private gardens and allotments are
those units which are not employed in public grounds, parks,
sports grounds, and in agriculture and forestry.
Every other form of use is considered improper use. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages resulting
from improper use, and any risk is in this case borne solely by
the user.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the
manufacturer and following the safety instructions included in
the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the operation
as well as the other generally acknowledged occupational
medicine and safety rules must be complied with.
Unauthorised modifications at the garden vac will exempt the
manufacturer from any liability for damages of any kind arising
from this.
Only persons who are familiarised with the device and
informed about possible risks are allowed to prepare, operate
and service this device. Repair works may only be carried out
by us or by a customer service agent nominated by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Failure to observe the safety precautions can lead to injury to
the operator or damage to property.
Stones and soil may be thrown off.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-
obvious residual risks can still exist.

Vibrations

Hand arm vibration a = 4.38 m/s²
vhw
Measuring uncertainty K = 2.2 m/s²
The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
exposure.
The actual vibration emission level during the use of the
machine may differ from that indicated in the operating
instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.
This may be caused by the following factors to be minded before
and during the use:
− Proper use of the machine
− Proper condition of the machine for use
− Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly
mounted on the machine body
