8. User tips
• The leaf blower must not be aimed at the ground or at people when the motor is started.
• Blow/vac only dry grass/leaves!
• Hold the leaf blower with both your hands!
• Do not aim the air current towards cars or other objects which are painted or have a sensitive surface
coat.
• Take care that the air current does not damage tree bark or plants which you plan to keep!
• When necessary use a rake or similar tool to loosen the leaves from the ground before using the leaf
blower.
• Check often that the motor cooling intakes are open. Remove leaves and other objects that are blocking
the openings to prevent the motor from overheating.
• Switch off the leaf blower, disconnect the plug and empty the leaf sack (do not leave the leaves in the
sack until the next time!) Remove the leaf sack, turn it inside out and shake until empty. Wash the leaf
sack annually (hand wash using a mild detergent and let it air-dry).
