5. INTENDED USE
The leaf vac is exclusively used in the two following ways:
1)
As a leaf vac for vacuuming up dry leaves.
2)
As a blower it is used to collect together dry leaves or to remove them from inaccessible
places (e.g. under vehicles).
In suction mode it also works as a shredder, where the volume of the leaves is reduced by a
ratio of approx. 10:1 and takes up less space in the leaf collection bag and the collected
material is simultaneously prepared for possible composting.
Each type of use other than those given in these instructions for use can damage the
machine and cause serious risk to the user.
Please always observe the safety instructions in order to safeguard your guarantee claim and
in the interests of product safety. Due to the machine’s design, we are unable to fully exclude
all residual risks.
6. UNPACKING
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that
a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been
replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
