emptied and closed before using it with the vacuum.
Carrying belt
The vacuum is equipped with an auxiliary carrying belt. It allows reducing the load on the hands holding the machine, especially
during prolonged use. The belt latch must be passed through the opening on the top of the machine housing. The belt should be
placed diagonally over the operator’s body and its length adjusted so that the majority of the machine’s weight rests on the belt.
Connecting the power supply
Two batteries power the machine. The machine will not start up if one of the batteries is not installed in the machine or is dis-
charged. The machine batteries are connected in a series, which means that the machine is powered with the sum of their rated
voltages. It is recommended that both batteries have the same capacity and are equally charged. The batteries used for powering
should also be equally used. It is not recommended to connect an exhausted battery with a new one, even if both are equally
charged and have the same capacity. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in a shorter operating time,
and faster wear of the batteries used to power the machine.
Only the following 18V Li-Ion YATO batteries can be used to power the device: YT-82842, YT-82843, YT-82844 and YT-82845,
which can only be charged with YATO YT-82848 or YT-82849 chargers. It is forbidden to use other batteries with a di ff erent rated
voltage and not matching the tool battery socket. It is forbidden to modify the socket or battery to make them match.
Slide the charged batteries into the guides of the battery socket so that the battery latch holds it in place (IX). Check whether any
battery does not slide out of the tool socket by itself.
Starting and stopping the blower
The blower is equipped with a rotary switch. If the power switch knob is set to the “0” position, the machine is turned o ff . Any other
position means the machine is running. The higher the number on the switch knob, the higher the motor speed and the higher the
thrust force. The thrust force should be adapted to the work performed. Always use a minimum thrust su ffi cient for the selected
job. Keep in mind that the greater the thrust, the shorter the operating time on one battery set.
When fi nished, turn o ff the machine using the power switch, wait for the moving parts to stop completely, and then disconnect
both batteries.
Instructions for use
Always make sure that the inlet, outlet, and nozzle are not obstructed. Increased noise and vibration will be the fi rst sign if any of
these is partly or completely obstructed. Restore the fully unobstructed condition immediately. Working with an obstructed product
is ine ffi cient and can cause overheating and damage to it.
Before starting work, check the work area thoroughly, removing any objects that may cause a hazard if propelled by an air blow.
Also, remove any objects that may move unexpectedly under the in fl uence of the air stream, e.g., tip over and cause danger.
Provide a safety zone of at least 15 m wide from the working area. The safety zone must not be accessible to any persons, espe-
cially children. Persons who enter the safety zone must exercise caution and wear the personal protective equipment described
above in the manual.
Always direct the blower nozzle downwards, towards the ground to be cleaned. Do not blow debris in the direction of other people
or animals.
Do not blow air towards a surface that is too loose. The dust generated during such use impairs the ability to watch the workplace,
which does not allow for appropriate response in the event of an emergency.
As far as possible, direct the air fl ow in the same direction as the wind. This will prevent debris from moving into the area already
cleared.
Before starting the vacuum, always install the collection bag correctly. Check the amount of debris in the bag regularly during
operation, and empty it. Collection bag over fi lling will lead to blockages.
There are auxiliary wheels at the nozzle outlet, which facilitate the nozzle guidance on the cleaned surface.
Do not use the vacuum to suck in wet, damp, or hot waste. Do not suck in construction waste and dust generated during con-
struction works, e.g., dust generated when fi nishing gypsum skim coats. The product is not suitable for use with such materials.
If the product features a speed adjustment, use the lowest speed possible to carry out the work. Higher speeds cause more noise
and also cause faster wear of the product.
Walk and keep your balance at all times, do not run, do not jump, do not overreach during the work. Do not use the product to
clean a surface that is out of sight.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Each time after fi nishing work, disconnect the batteries from the product and begin its maintenance. Dismount the nozzle and the
collection bag, if used. Clean both the ventilation openings and the inlet and outlet with a soft handheld brush or a painting brush
with plastic bristles. Clean the housing, handle, and controls with a soft, slightly dampened with water cloth and then dry them. A
compressed air stream with a pressure not exceeding 0.3 MPa can be used for cleaning. Once the nozzle is removed, it can be
