Operation
•
Always trail the power cable behind the tool.
•
If the power cable or extension cable is da-
maged, pull the plug out of the socket.
NEVER TOUCH THE CABLE BEFORE THE
PLUG HAS BEEN PULLED OUT OF THE
SOCKET.
•
Do not carry the tool by its power cable.
•
Always pull out the power plug:
- when the tool is not being used, when it is
being transported or when you leave it un-
supervised.
- when you are checking the tool, cleaning it
or removing blockages.
- when you want to carry out cleaning or
maintenance work on the tool or replace ac-
cessories.
- after the tool impacts with foreign bodies or
you notice unusual vibrations.
•
Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit
conditions.
•
Do not underestimate the forces involved.
Make sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times.

Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold
particularly while working on slopes.

The machine may only be used at reasonable
times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning
or late evening when it will be a nuisance to
other people. Permitted times of use specified
by local authorities must be observed.
•
The machine must be run at the lowest pos-
sible motor speed required to carry out the
work.
•
Remove all foreign objects with a rake and
brush before starting any blowing work.
•
Where conditions are dusty, dampen the sur-
face a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
•
Use the full-length blower nozzle extension
so that the air current can work near to the
ground.
•
Watch out for children, pets, open windows
etc. and blow the foreign objects safely away
from them.
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 debris bag for signs of
wear and deformation.
•
Use only genuine accessories and spare
parts.
•
For your own safety, replace worn or dama-
ged parts without delay.
•
Electric tools should be kept in a dry place
when not in use.
•
If the mains cable for this device is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained person-
nel to avoid danger.
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet
(with 230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse

ded by an earth-leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.).
The operating current must not exceed 30 mA.
