Leaf vacuuming
Warning!
Do not vacuum up water, pieces of glass, metal, hard objects, ash or hot coals, since this may injure
you and damage the machine.
Note:
The selector lever must always be at an end position, never in between. It should be easy to move
the lever between its end positions. If it is stiff to move, the leaf sack may need to be emptied.
1. Move the selector lever (11) up to the vacuum position.
2. Hold the leaf vacuum firmly and press the switch to
start the motor. Adjust the speed with the control (6).
3. Hold the leaf vacuum about 5 cm above the leaves
you want to vacuum up.
4. Work as follows: Swing the leaf vacuum from side
to side, move forward and swing it from side to side
again, and so on. If the leaf vacuum slows down, do
not move forward so far each time.
Empty the leaf sack when it is nearly full
Warning!
Switch off the leaf vacuum and unplug the power lead before you empty the leaf sack.
When the leaf sack is full, the leaf vacuum is less effective and the leaf sack must be emptied:
1. Switch off the leaf vacuum and unplug the power lead.
2. Open the zip on the back of the leaf sack and shake out the contents.
3. Detach the leaf sack before putting the blower/vacuum away. Turn it inside-out and shake out all
the contents. Make sure that it is dry and undamaged, then re-attach it to the blower/vacuum.
If the strength of the vacuum decreases even though the leaf sack is not full, check for a leaf blockage in
the vacuum/blower tube. To clean the vacuum/blower tube or fan:
1. Switch off the leaf vacuum, unplug the power lead and allow the fan to stop.
2. Remove the fan cover and the leaf sack.
3. Carefully remove the blockage and check that the impeller and other parts are undamaged.
4. Carefully turn the impeller by hand to check that it can rotate freely.
5. Refit the fan cover and the leaf sack.
Find a good working posture
Place the shoulder strap over one shoulder and adjust the length of the strap for a comfortable working posture.
The front handle (4) is adjustable. Press in the two round locking buttons on the handle and move it back and
forth to find the required position.
Maintenance
Warning!
Before you start, make sure that the leaf vacuum is switched off and that the power lead is unplugged.
• Clean the cooling air openings regularly with a soft brush, to prevent the motor overheating.
• Remove the fan cover and clean the impeller regularly with a soft brush or a cloth.
Check that the impeller is undamaged.
• Store the machine indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
• Clean the casing with a cloth slightly moistened with water and a mild detergent. Do not use strong
detergents or solvents as these may damage the leaf vacuum.
• If the leaf vacuum starts to vibrate violently in use, switch it off immediately and unplug it. Severe vibration is
a sign of a mechanical fault. This may present a hazard to the user.
