cut, damaged or entangled (do not touch the cord
before disconnecting the plug)
• Protect the (extension) cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges
• Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
tool
• Inspect the cord periodically and have it replaced by a
qualified person, if damaged
• Inspect the extension cord periodically and replace it, if
damaged (inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous)
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off; always have a damaged switch repaired by a qualified
person

BEFORE USE

• Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
tool
• Check the functioning of the tool before each use and, in
case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a
qualified person; never open the tool yourself
• Before use, thoroughly inspect the area where the
tool is to be used and remove all solid objects that
could damage the shredding mechanism when
vacuuming (such as stones, broken glass, pieces of
metal)
• When vacuuming, never use the tool without the
collection bag in place
• Regularly check the collection bag for wear or damage
• Never operate the tool with a defective guard or housing
• Replace worn of damaged parts
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the
tool is in a safe working condition

DURING USE

• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool;
direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• Operate the tool at a walking pace only (do not run)
• Keep proper footing on slopes
• Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear
of debris
• Take a secure stance when working (do not overreach,
especially when using steps or a ladder)

USE
• Assembly instructions 0
- mount supporting wheel K as illustrated
- ensure that tubes A and B, collection bag C and guide
handle D are assembled correctly and that shoulder
strap E is adjusted correctly before operating the tool
! firmly tighten all screws, bolts and nuts
• Cord restraint !
- hook the loop in the extension cord over restraint F as
illustrated
- pull tight to secure the extension cord
• On/off @
- switch on tool by pressing trigger switch G
- switch off tool by releasing trigger switch G
! before switching on the tool, ensure that it is not
in contact with any object
! after switching off the tool the motor continues to
run for a few seconds
• Blowing #
- select blowing mode with switch H as illustrated (only
when tool is switched off)
- with wheel J the maximum speed can be adjusted
from low to high (1-7) (0796)
• Vacuuming/shredding $
- ensure that collection bag C 2 is attached to the tool
(for mounting see 2)
- select vacuuming mode with switch H as illustrated
(only when tool is switched off)
- with wheel J the maximum speed can be adjusted
from low to high (1-7) (0796)
! do not vacuum solid objects such as stones,
broken glass, pieces of metal
- do not vacuum liquids
- do not vacuum large volumes of leaf material at one
time thus avoiding clogging of the vacuuming opening
and blocking of the shredder impeller
- the shredding intensity depends on the size of the leaf
material and its residual moisture
! when the tool suddenly stops, immediately switch
it off, disconnect plug from power source, and
remove any jammed material between shredder
impeller and housing
- regularly empty collection bag C 2 (the vacuum
capacity decreases considerably when the collection
bag is full)
• Holding and guiding the tool %
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- use supporting wheel K for easy guiding the tube
along the ground
- for optimal results keep a 5 - 10 cm distance to the
ground
• Emptying of collection bag ^
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
- wait until the impeller comes to a standstill before
removing the collection bag from the tool
- open the zipper of the collection bag and empty it
completely
- compostic material does not belong with domestic
waste
