suction (VII). Place the front part of the bag clamp over the front part of the air outlet (VIII) and then slide the clamp over the air
outlet so that the latch engages (VIII). The bag can be removed by pressing and holding the bag latch and then sliding the bag
clamp o ff the air outlet. The collection bag at the bottom has a closure. It allows easy emptying of the bag. Make sure that the
collection bag is completely emptied and closed each time before using the tool as a vacuum.
Connecting to the power supply
The machine is equipped with only a short cord with a power plug. A separate power line equipped with a single socket should
be prepared to power the machine due to its high power consumption. The system preparation should be entrusted to a quali fi ed
electrician. Use an electric extension cord to power the tool. Always use cords intended for outdoor use due to the nature of the
blower operation. The power cord should have a single socket matching the machine’s plug. It is forbidden to modify the plug or
socket to make them fi t. The electrical parameters of the power supply cord should correspond to the electrical parameters of the
tool, listed on the rating plate. It should be noted that the power cord’s cross-section depends on the length of the cord. Follow the
instructions below regarding the power cord cross-section:
- 1.5 mm 2 – cord length not greater than 40 m;
- 2.5 mm
2
– cord length not greater than 60 m;
When preparing for operation and during operation, pay attention to the power cord. Protect the power cord from water, moisture,
oils, heat sources and sharp objects. Lay the cord so that it is not drawn in by the blower. Cutting the cord may result in electric
shock and serious injury or death. Make sure that you do not become entangled in the cord. This can lead to a fall and serious
injury. Do not overload the power cord, and do not cause any of the cord’s section to become tensioned. Do not pull the tool by
the cord when moving. Always disconnect the power cord plug from the socket by pulling by the plug and socket housing, never
pull by the cord. The blower has a special hook to which the extension cord (IX) must be attached. This connection will prevent
the power cord from being torn out in the event of a sudden jerk.
Starting and stopping the blower
The machine is started by pressing and holding the power switch. Releasing the pressure on the power switch will stop the
machine. It should be taken into account that after the pressure on the power switch has been released, the motor and also the
impeller producing the air thrust will continue running for some time. The power switch does not have the option of locking in the
“o ff ” or “on” position. The machine is equipped with motor speed adjustment and therefore thrust adjustment. Adjustment is made
using the thrust adjustment knob (X). There is a “+” and “-” symbol on the housing next to the thrust knob to indicate the direction
of thrust adjustment. Turning the knob in the direction marked with the “+” symbol increases the thrust while turning the knob in
the direction marked with the “-” symbol decreases the thrust. Switch o ff the machine after fi nished work using the power switch,
wait for the moving parts to come to a complete standstill and then remove the power cord from the socket.
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 its overheating and damage. 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 at least 15 m wide from the working area.
The safety zone must not be accessible to any unauthorised persons, especially children. Persons who enter the safety zone
must exercise caution and wear the personal protective equipment described above. Always direct the blower nozzle downwards,
towards the surface to be cleaned. Do not point it at 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. Whenever 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 vacuuming, inspect the work area carefully and remove any hard objects such as
stones, cans or glass. The suction impeller can be damaged if the vacuum draws in hard objects. Before starting the vacuum,
always install the collection bag correctly. Check the fi ll level of 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 moving the nozzle across the
cleaned surface. Do not use the vacuum to draw in wet, damp, or hot waste. Do not draw in construction waste and dust generated
during construction 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. Move while keeping your balance at all times, do not run, do not jump and
do not overreach during 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, remove the power cord plug from the mains socket and begin tool maintenance. Remove the bag
if it has been used. Clean the vent holes and the inlet and outlet with a soft 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. An inspection window (XI) located in the device housing is used to
remove dirt from hard-to-reach areas. To do this, unscrew the locking screw to allow the window to be opened. Remove dirt from
