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 simultane-
ously 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.
Attention! The safety information must always
be observed when using the machine. For your
own safety and the safety of others, please read
and follow these instructions before using the
machine. Keep them in a safe place for later use.
Attention: Noise protection ! Please observe the
local regulations when operating your device.
Noise emission information in accordance with the
German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and
the EC Machine Directive: the noise pressure level at
the place of work can exceed 80 dB(A). In such cases
the operator will require noise protection (e.g. wearing
of ear protectors).
