4. OPERATING MODES
4.1 USE AS A BLOWER
The machine must always be firmly gripped with your right hand on
the upper hand grip during work.
The
e
ngine speed should be adjusted to the type of
material to be removed:
– use the engine at low speed for lightweight material on the
lawn
– use the engine at average speed to move grass and lightweight
leaves on pavement or solid ground
– use the engine at high speed for heavier materials like fresh
snow or voluminous dirt
Always pay the utmost attention to prevent removed material or dust
from injuring people or animals or damaging property.
A
lways assess
the wind direction and never work against the wind.
4.2 USE AS A VACUUM COLLECTOR
(280BVX Only)
The machine must always be firmly held with both hands during
work. Place your right hand on the upper hand grip and your left
hand on the lower hand grip so that the bag is on the left-hand side
of the operator.
When used as a vacuum collector, it is best to use the engine
at average/high speed. During collection, keep the rounded
end of the tube a few centimeters off the ground. The bag
also works as a filter, similar to a common home vacuum.
For this reason it is best that:
– it is always free to expand and the support strap is not
tangled
– it is not fully filled.
– collected objects that could jeopardise the bag's integrity are
promptly removed
To empty the bag:
– switch the engine off.
– open the zipper (1) and empty the bag without disconnecting it from the coupling tube.
IMPORTANT
When used as a vacuum collector do not collect damp grass or leaves to avoid
clogging the rotor and bag.
