5.3 Working advice

• Hold the leaf blower about 20 cm above the ground
as shown in Figure 5, switch on the device and swing
it easily from side to side. Blow waste material into a
heap. Do not direct the air jet into the middle of the
waste heap.
• Adjust the blowing power to the requirements.
• Make sure the air jet is not directed at children, pet
animals, open windows or automobiles.
• Always keep the ventilation slots free during operation
to prevent overheating.
• Do not use the device on wet ground.
• Clean the device after working.

6. Cleaning and storage

ATTENTION – risk of injury! Always re-
move the rechargeable battery from the
device before all work.
Replace all damaged or worn parts to ensure the leaf
blower is always ready for safe operation.
1. Clean ventilation slots and openings with a brush.
2. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents containing
chemicals which could damage the plastic parts. Wipe
the housing clean with a cloth.
3. Always store the leaf blower in a dry, frost-free location
beyond the reach of children.
4. Store and charge your rechargeable batteries at a cool
location. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature shorten the lifespan of the rechargeable
batteries.
5. Do not store rechargeable batteries when discharged.
Wait until the rechargeable battery has cooled down
and charge it completely.
6. Rechargeable batteries gradually lose their charge.
The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their
charge. For longer storage periods, recharge the re-
chargeable battery every one or two months. This will
extend the lifespan of the rechargeable battery.
ATTENTION!
For further maintenance or repair work, please contact
your Mantis After Sales Service.
7. Waste disposal and environ-
mental protection
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a col-
lection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.

Do not discard electric tools in the
household waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its im-
plementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man-
agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the ac-
cessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electrical
components accompanying the waste equipment.
