Safety information
¾ Remove the power pack from the device:
- Whenever you leave the device unattended.
- Before removing blockages.
- Before checking, cleaning or working on the
device.
- After impacting a foreign body, to check the de-
vice for damage.
- For immediate checking, if the device starts to
vibrate excessively.
¾ Never leave the leaf vacuum/blower unat-
tended during breaks and store it in a secure
location.
¾ Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend-
ers!
¾ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times. Pay particular attention, if
you are working on a slope. Do not run, rather
walk forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure
that you can maintain better control of the device
if unexpected situations occur.
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾ Switch the motor off when carrying the device
to or from separate working positions.
¾ Never bypass or manipulate switching mecha-
nisms installed on the device (e.g. by taping
the push-button to the handle).
¾ Never suck up or blow away substances other
than leaves or dirt with the device in order to
prevent the risk of injury and property dam-
age. Other substances are for example:
• Chemical products such as fertiliser or
other substances
• Damp objects or liquids
• Solid objects such as metal, glass, etc.
• Hot objects such as ash, embers, ciga-
rettes, etc.
¾ Never aim the device toward people, pets or
windows. Always blow in a direction where
there are neither people nor animals, nor
where delicate solid objects are located (such
as windows, walls, cars).
¾ Always hold the device firmly with both
hands. One hand on the handle, the other on
the bow-shaped handle.
¾ Do not wear any loose or dangling clothes or
jewellery that could be sucked into the intake
opening. Keep long hair away from the intake
openings.
¾ Keep hands, face and feet away from all rotat-
ing parts. Do not touch any rotating parts.
Safety information
Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and
impair the blood circulation in the hands and
arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values were
measured according to a standardised testing
procedure. These values make it possible
to estimate the power tool emissions and
compare them against different power tools.
Dependent on the conditions of use, the state
of the power tool or tools inserted for use with
it, the actual vibration load may be higher or
lower. When estimating the emissions also take
into consideration work pauses and phases of
reduced load. Implement protective actions, e.g.
organisational measures, based on appropriate
estimates.
After use
¾ Switch the device off, remove the power pack
and check the device for damage.
¾ If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it off and remove the power pack.
¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt.
¾ Do not clean the leaf vacuum/blower using
water.
