7. Operation
7.1 Sizing the strap (Fig. 1)
Size the length of the carrying strap (4) so that the
vacuum tube just clears the ground. The guide rollers
(9) at the bottom end of the suction tube will help you
to maneuver the suction tube on the ground.
7.2. Adjusting the additional handle (Fig. 5)
To do so, undo the lever (Fig. 5 / Item A) by flipping it
open. Now set the additional handle (Fig. 5 / Item 3) to
the required position and flip back the lever.
7.3 Connecting the tool to the power supply and
switching on (Fig. 6)
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 earth-
leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating
current must not exceed 30 mA.
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling
(extension).
Secure the power cord with the sleeve provided
on the tool as shown.
To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch
(5).
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch (5).
7.4 Selecting the mode of operation
7.4.1 Suctioning (Fig. 7)
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position A. You can do
this both when the device is at a standstill and while it
is running.
7.4.2 Blowing (Fig. 7)
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position B. You can
do this both when the device is at a standstill and
while it is running.
Channel the air stream forward and walk slowly
to blow foliage or garden refuse into a pile or to
clear out hard-to-reach places.
Important!
Empty the debris bag before blowing. Otherwise,
the material that has been vacuumed up could
drop out.
7.5 Emptying the debris bag and pre-screen
(Fig. 1)
Empty the debris bag (7) in good time. When the bag
is heavily loaded with material, vacuum power is
considerably reduced. Deposit organic refuse at a
compost site.
Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and shake
16
out the material.
Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.
7.6 Speed control (Fig. 8a)
The device is fitted with an electronic speed
controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 8a/
Item 10) to the desired position. Use the device only
with the speed which is actually required and do not
let it run at a speed which is faster than necessary.
8. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
9.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out
and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould
and unpleasant odors from forming.
You can use soap and water to clean out a
heavily soiled debris bag.
Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if
the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush upon
evidence of dirt and grime.
Dirt and grime can make the switch
(blower/vacuum) more difficult to operate as a
result of the material that swirls up off the
ground. When this occurs, simply flip the switch
back and forth a few times, which should bring it
back to the normal feel.
To clean the interior of the housing undo the
screw connection (Fig. 8a / Item A) and remove
the cover (Fig. 8a / Item B). Never use cleaning
