• If the power cable or extension cable is
damaged, pull the plug out of the socket.
NEVER TOUCH THE CABLE BEFORE THE
PLUG HAS BEEN PULLED OUT OF THE
SOCKET.
• Do not carry the tool by its power cable.
• Always pull out the power plug:
- when the tool is not being used, when it is
being transported or when you leave it
unsupervised.
- when you are checking the tool, cleaning
it or removing blockages.
- when you want to carry out cleaning or
maintenance work on the tool or replace
accessories.
- after the tool impacts with foreign bodies or
you notice unusual vibrations.
• Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit
conditions.
• Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your balance
at all times.
• If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.
• Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold
particularly while working on slopes.
• Always walk. Never run.
• Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the vacuum/blow hole at persons
or animals.
• The machine may only be used at reasonable
times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or
late evening when it will be a nuisance to other
people. Permitted times of use specified by local
authorities must be observed.
• The machine must be run at the lowest possible
motor speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and
brush before starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the
surface a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so
that the air current can work near to the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc.
and blow the foreign objects safely away from
them.
Maintenance and storage
• Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are
securely tightened in order to be sure that the
machine is in a safe working condition.
• Frequently check the debris bag for signs of
wear and deformation.
• Use only genuine accessories and spare parts.
• For your own safety, replace worn or damaged
parts without delay.
• Electric tools should be kept in a dry place
when not in use.
• If the mains cable for this device is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
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 earthleakage circuit breaker
(e.l.c.b.). The operating current must not exceed
30 mA.
