Warranty
The warranty only covers defects caused by material or
manufacturing flaws.
When lodging a claim under the warranty, the original receipt
showing the date of sale must be attached.
Incorrect use, such as overloading the machine, use of force,
damage by outside intervention or foreign bodies, is not covered by
the warranty. The warranty also does not cover a failure to comply
with the instructions for use and assembly, and normal wear and
tear.
General safety information
Read the instructions for use carefully.
Familiarise yourself with the settings and the correct use of the
machine. Above all, find out how to switch off the engine quickly
and safely in the event of an emergency.
1.
Check the ambient conditions in which you are
working. The engine generates toxic emissions as soon as it
is running. These emissions may be odourless and invisible.
You should therefore never use the machine in enclosed or
poorly ventilated areas. Ensure you have adequate lighting
whilst you are working.
2.
Do not allow other people to use the machine. Visitors and
spectators, above all children and ill or frail people, should be
kept away from the work area. Prevent other people gaining
access to the tools.
3.
Never use the machine in wet, icy or snowy conditions.
4.
Ensure that you store tools in a safe place. Tools which are
not in use must be locked in a dry place as high as possible
where they are out of the reach of children.
5.
Wear suitable clothing. The clothing must be fit for purpose
and must not hinder you as you work.
6.
Use personal protection equipment. Where safety footwear
with steel caps/soles and soles with good grip.
7.
Wear ear protection. Wear personal ear protection, for
example earplugs.
8.
Remain alert at all times. Watch what you are doing. Use
your common sense. Do not use motorised tools when you are
tired. Do not work with the machine if you are under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medication which may adversely
affect your reactions.
9.
Refuelling. Always switch off the engine before refuelling.
Always open the fuel tank cover carefully so that any pressure
in the tank can dissipate slowly and no fuel is sprayed out.
Working with the pavement vacuum creates high temperatures
on the housing. You should therefore allow the machine to
cool before refuelling it. Otherwise the fuel could ignite and
result in serious burns. When refuelling, ensure that you do not
attempt to add too much fuel. If any liquid is spilt, mop it up
immediately and clean the machine. After refuelling, ensure
that the cover thread is properly secure so that it cannot be
loosened by the vibrations generated during operation.
10. Length of use and breaks. Lengthy use of the motorised
machine may result in circulation problems in the hands
caused by vibrations. However, you can extend the length of
use by wearing suitable gloves or taking regular breaks.
Reduce the length of use if you suffer from poor circulation or
are affected by low outdoor temperatures or high gripping
forces may fatigue you.
11. Check for damaged parts. Inspect the tool before you use it.
Are any of the components damaged? If you find signs of
minor damage, you should seriously question whether the tool
will nevertheless work perfectly and safely. Ensure that moving
parts are correctly aligned and adjusted. Do the parts engage
in each other correctly? Are any of the components damaged?
Has everything been installed correctly? Have all the other
conditions for perfect operation been satisfied? Damaged
guards, etc. must be properly repaired or replaced by
authorised personnel unless expressly stated to the contrary in
the operating manual. Defective switches must be replaced by
an authorised workshop. Contact your local service centre if
your machine requires any repair work.
12. Always switch off the engine before completing any settings or
maintenance work.
13. Use approved parts only. Use identical spare parts only for
maintenance and repair work. Contact your approved service
centre for spare parts.
Warning The use of different suction nozzles, accessories
and attachment parts which are not expressly recommended may
result in danger to people and property.
The tool may only be used for its intended purpose. Any other use
will be regarded as improper. The user bears sole responsibility for
any property damage and personal injuries resulting from such
improper use, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability in this
case.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability if its machines are
modified or used incorrectly, resulting in damage or injury.
IMPORTANT
Even when the tool is used correctly, a certain amount of
residual risk, which cannot be excluded, remains. The type and
design of the tool may result in the following potential
dangers:
•
Contact with the unguarded rotor fan (cuts).
•
Reaching into the moving rotor (cuts).
•
Hearing damage if proper protection is not worn.
•
Harmful dust and gas development if the machine is used in
enclosed areas (nausea).
Do not stand in the danger area created by the leaf vacuum and
shredder.
Never allow children or other people who are not familiar with the
instructions for use to use the machine.
Local regulations may set the minimum age of the user.
Never use the vacuum whilst other people, particularly children or
animals, are in the vicinity. Remember that the machine operator or
user is responsible for accidents involving other people or their
property.
Preparations
Always wear stout footwear and long trousers when using the
machine. Never use the machine in bare feet or in lightweight
sandals.
Check the terrain on which the machine is used and remove all
items which the machine cannot handle.
Warning: Petrol is highly inflammable.
Only keep petrol in containers designed for it. Only refuel outdoors
and do not smoke during the process. Refuel before starting the
engine.
The tank cover must not be opened and the machine must not be
refuelled whilst the engine is running or is hot from use.
Do not attempt to start the engine if any petrol has overflowed.
Instead the machine must be removed from the area contaminated
with petrol. Do not attempt to use the machine, use naked flames or
generate sparks until the petrol vapours have dissipated. For safety
reasons, the petrol tank and other tank covers must be replaced if
