4. Maintenance and storage
◆
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are
securely tightened in order to be sure that the
machine is in a safe working condition.
◆
Frequently check the grass catching devices for
signs of wear and deformation.
◆
Only use replacement cutters of the correct
type.
◆
For your own safety, replace worn or damaged
parts without delay.
◆
Electric tools should be kept in a dry place when
not in use.
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.
Safety pictograms on the tool (Fig. 10)
1. Read the directions for use before operating the
tool.
2. Do not use the tool in rain or snow. Do not ex-
pose the tool to wet conditions.
3. Keep all other persons away from the danger
zone.
4. Wear goggles and ear muffs.
5. Switch off the tool and pull out the power plug be-
fore carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
work.

5.0 Assembly
5.1. Mounting the vacuum tube (Fig. 2,3)
First plug together the front suction tube (1) and the
rear suction tube (2). When the two parts engage
correctly they make an audible click.
Then slip the assembled suction tube in the motor
housing and fasten it in place with the two clip
fasteners (3).
Important: Please note that the two suction tubes
must always be joined together before they are
mounted on the motor housing, and that they
must never be taken apart when mounted!
Important: The garden blower vac is equipped
with a safety lock-off switch which only works
when the suction tube is mounted on the motor
housing.
5.2. Mounting the debris bag (Fig. 4)
Slip the debris bag (7) over the socket on the motor
housing. It engages correctly when it makes an
audible click. Then hang the two hooks on the
suction tube and the motor housing.
6.0 Prior to starting up
Start up the tool only after it is fully assembled.
Always inspect the tool power cord for damage
before starting up. The tool may only be used if
the cord is in flawless condition.
7.0 Starting up
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. Connecting the tool to the power supply and
switching on (Fig. 5, 6)
◆
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling
(extension).
◆
Secure the power cord (6) with the sleeve
provided on the tool as shown.
◆
To switch on, push the ON/OFF switch (5)
toward I. To switch off , push the ON/OFF
switch toward 0.
7.3 Selecting the mode of operation
7.3.1 Vacuum (Abb. 7)
◆
Turn the lever (8) all the way left to “Vacuum”.
You can do this regardless of whether the tool is
running or not.
