Page: 9 / 27

13. Do not blow away any combustible materials, e.g.
cigarette stubs or grill coal with the appliance.
14. Do not blow away any combustible, poisonous or
explosive materials with the appliance.
15. Do not cross gravel paths or roads with the running
appliance.
16. Always wear protective glasses and protective clothes
at work with the vacuum.
17. Attention: Stones or other foreign matters can be
speeded up by the current operation and thus cause
injuries to persons or material damage.
Emergency Action
Apply the first aid adequate to the injury and get qualified
medical assistance as quickly as possible. Protect the
injured person from more accidents and calm him/her down.
For the sake of eventual accident, in accordance with
DIN 13164, a workplace has to be fitted with a first-aid
kit. It is essential to replace any used material in the
first-aid kit immediately after it has been used. If you
seek help, state the following pieces of information:
1. Accident site
2. Accident type
3. Number of injured persons
4. Injury type(s)
Disposal
Disposal instructions are illustrated in the form of
pictograms on the device or packaging. Description of the
pictograms is given in "Identification" chapter.
Disposal of transport packaging
Packaging protects the device against damage during
transport. Packaging materials are usually selected
according to their effect on environment and disposal
methods and can therefore be recycled.
Returning of the packaging back to circulation saves
resources and costs for packaging disposal.
Parts of the packaging (e.g. foil, styropor) may be
dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep these parts of the packaging out of reach of children
and dispose as soon as possible.
WORKING CONDITIONS
1. Never work in non-ventilated rooms due to the risk of
damage to health as a result of inhalation of burnt gases.
Burnt gases contain harmful carbon monoxide.
2. Use the leaf vacuum only when you have corresponding
stability and balance.
3. Never use the appliance at strong wind, bad weather,
reduced visibility or extreme temperatures.
(recommended environment temperature is below 40°C)
PREVENT TROUBLING WITH NOISE
It is necessary to observe local provisions as far as the
noisiness level and leaf vacuum operation time are
concerned.
1. Do not operate the appliance in the day-time when you
would unacceptably disturb your neighbours (e.g. early in
the morning or late in the evening). Keep to the times
specified in local notices.
2. To keep the machine noisiness at as low level as
possible, limit the number of machines used at the same
time.
3. Do not turn up the gas than necessary for the specific
work.
4. Check especially the noise suppressor, air inlet and air
filter before appliance use.
FUEL
Do the following to reduce the fire and burning risk:
a) Proceed carefully at fuel handling. It can ignite easily.
b) Do not smoke at fire handling.
c) Do not refuel if the engine is warm.
d) Do not refuel if the appliance is on.
e) Prevent fuel or oil spilling. Always wipe and dry the
appliance before use.
f ) Start the engine at least 3 m before the place of fuelling.
g) Always store the petrol in a container approved for flammable
liquids.
h) Make sure the appliance is assembled properly and in a faultless
working state.
i ) Do not use the leaf vacuum near flames or sparks as flammable
substance can ignite by aiming the appliance at an inflammable
source.
j) Remove the leaf bag at each refuelling and protect it against
pollution with leaking fuel!
Spilt fuel on the leaf bag represents a potential source of
danger!
BEFORE EACH ENGINE STARTING
• Check the entire appliance and ensure all parts are not damaged
and are properly fixed before each engine starting. In case of any
damage of the fuel pipe, exhaust pipe or spark plug cable the
vacuum can only be used after the damage is removed.
APPLIANCE USE AS DESIGNED
What are the leaf blowers?
The leaf blowers make the tiresome leaf sweeping in the
autumn easier and thus also make the garden work much
easier. Their area of use is extended over the course of the
year to air blast sweeping : free impurities and rubbish, cans and
litter can be quickly and easily collected on a heap. The leaf
blowers thus become machines with a year-long utilisation.
Tips for leaf blower use
You should collect the leaves as quickly as possible : Wet
leaves and doting leaves or leaves on big heaps always represent a
problem. Collecting big leaves, such as plane, walnut or chestnut is
very difficult.
Therefore we recommend removing leaves immediately after
falling and in dry weather. The blower blows the leaves on a heap
from which you can collect them more easily or let them rot.
And where should you start collecting leaves? Wet leaves
definitely represent a risk of slipping on busy roads, steep surfaces
or staircases. They need to be removed for safety reasons.
However, on most of vegetation surfaces leaves fulfil important
functions of a constant growth and end cycle. On surfaces with
intensive care you should remove the leaves and on extensive
grass surfaces you can partially let them lie. And perhaps you may
find a small place for a heap of leaves in your garden that will in
winter provide a warm shelter to many small animals, for instance a
hedgehog.
MAINTENANCE
Always switch the engine off and disconnect the sparking-plug
before each maintenance or check.
If the appliance makes strange noises or vibrations while being
used, immediately switch the engine off and contact service
specialists of Güde for help. The blowing equipment check is
very important. Any damage of the rotary ventilator leads to
serious injuries.
WARNUNG
TRANSPORT
• Discharge fuel from the tank before appliance transport or storing.
• Secure the appliance in a manner that it could not be damaged or
cause any damage during transport.
• Do not expose the leaf blower to heavy force, e.g. do not throw it
or let it fall down. Your guarantee claims would expiry by doing so.
Storing
• Store the leaf blower in internal spaces, at a dry place
inaccessible to children.

Secure the collecting bag with two screws – pic. 6, pos. 27
Assembly and first putting into operation
• First y ou must assemble the suction and blowing tube. To do so,
put individual tube pieces together (pic. 2 pos.19.)
Screw it together with two screws supplied (pic. 2, pos. 17 and 18).
