Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new

device. You have chosen a high quality prod-

uct. The operating instructions are a constitu-

ent part of this product. They contain impor-

tant information for safety, operation and

disposal. Familiarise yourself with all operat-

ing and safety instructions prior to using the

product. Use the product only as described

and for the areas of application stated. If the

device is passed on to a third party then pass

all of the documentation on with it.

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 inac-

cessible 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. 15:1 and takes up less

space in the leaf collection bag and the col-

lected material is simultaneously 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 instruc-

tions in order to safeguard your guarantee

claim and in the interests of product safety.

Due to the machine’s design, we are un-

able to fully exclude all residual risks.

damp or wet locations. Ensure there is

always good lighting for the working

area. Do not use the power tool in ar-

10

GB

eas in which there is a risk of explosions

or fires due to combustible materials,

inflammable liquids, paint, varnish,

benzine etc. Combustible gases and

dust are explosive by their nature. As

a precautionary measure, it is recom-

mended to consult with an expert who

can advise you of how to procure and

use an appropriate fire extinguisher.

3. Protection from electric shocks

Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfac-

es (e.g. pipes, radiators, electric cookers,

fridges).

4. Keep away from children and pets

Children and pets should be kept out of

the working area. Ensure that children

do not handle the machine and do not

touch any extension cables. All power

tools should be kept out of reach of chil-

dren and should preferably be kept in a

secure cabinet or room when not in use.

5. Do not overload the power tool

The power tool works better and more

safely and will benefit you much more if

you use it within the operational limits

for which it was designed.

6. Use the correct tool

Select the correct tool for your task. Do

not use tools for purposes other than

those for which they were intended. Do

not overload small tools with tasks for

which high performance tools are re-

quired. Only use tools for their designed

purpose. Example: Do not use circular

saws for sawing branches or logs.

Personal safety

1. Clothing

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery

as these can be caught by moving ma-

chine parts.

2. Hair

Long hair should be tied back and cov-

ered with a protective hair net or similar.

3. Eye protection

Wearing of goggles is mandatory (nor-

mal spectacles are not sufficient for

protecting the eyes). Prescription spec-

tacles do not have safety glass.

4. Hearing protection

Hearing protection is recommended

with extended periods of use.

5. Footwear

If heavy objects could fall on your feet

or if there is a risk of slipping on wet or

slippery ground, then suitable non-slip

safety footwear should be worn.

6. Protective headgear

If heavy objects could fall on your head

or if there is a risk of striking your head

on projecting or low obstacles, then a

hard-hat or safety helmet should be

worn.

7. Respiratory protection

If dust is caused when operating the

machine then wear a dust protection

mask. When working with concrete or

synthetic fibre boards, in particular MDF

sheets (medium density fibreboard) the

Stopping the Vacuum- Blower

(Pic.11)

To turn off the machine you can simply

release the switch (9.1).

Using the Vacuum-Blower

Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow

fallen leaves etc, to dry out before using

the Vacuum Blower. The Vacuum-Blower

can be used to blow debris from patios,

paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and bor-

ders. It will also pick up leaves, paper,

small twigs and wood chippings. When the

using the Vacuum Blower in Vacuum mode

the debris is sucked up the suction tube

before being ejected into the debris col-

lection bag, as the debris passes through

the suction fan it is partially shredded. The

shredded organic debris is ideal to use as

mulch around plants.

Warning! Any hard objects, such as

stones, tin cans glass etc, will damage

the suction fan.

Important

Do not use the Vacuum-Blower to suck

up water or very wet debris.

Never operate the Vacuum-Blower

without the debris collection bag fitted.

Blower mode

Inspect the area to be worked before start-

ing. Remove any objects or debris that

could be thrown, jammed or become en-

tangled in the Vacuum-Blower.

Select the blow function using the selec-

tor lever on the side of the machine and

switch on. With the Vacuum- Blower rest-

ing on its wheels move the Vacuum-Blower

GB

forwards directing the nozzle at the debris

to be cleared.

Alternatively hold nozzle just above the

ground and swing the machine from side

to side, moving forwards and directing the

nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow the

debris into a convenient heap then use the

vacuum function to collect the debris.

Vacuum mode

Inspect the area to be worked before start-

ing. Remove any objects or debris that

could be thrown, jammed or become en-

tangled in the Vacuum-Blower.

Select the vacuum function using the se-

lector lever on the side of the machine

and switch on. With the Vacuum-Blower

resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-

Blower forwards directing the nozzle at

the debris to be collected. Alternatively

with the Vacuum-Blower held just above

the ground swing the machine from side

to side, moving forwards and directing the

nozzle at the debris to be collected. Do not

force the nozzle into the debris as this will

block the suction tube and reduce the ef-

ficiency of the machine.

Organic materials such as leaves contain a

large amount of water that can cause them

to stick to the inside of the suction tube. To

reduce sticking the material should be left

for a few days to dry out.

Adjust the front handle (fig. 12-14)

• Press the side adjustment button (12.1)

(fig. 12).

Never leave material in the Vacuum-Blow-

er or the debris collection bag. This could

be dangerous when starting the Vacuum-

Blower.

After use the Vacuum-Blower should be

thoroughly cleaned.

ply. Remove and empty the debris collec-

tion bag. Ensure that the Vacuum / Blow

selector lever operates smoothly and that it

is not obstructed by debris. Brush any loose

debris from around the fan and inside the

suction/blower tube.

Do not use any type of cleaning solvent

on the plastic parts of the Vacuum-Blower.

Power Cord Maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task

must be carried out by the manufacturer,

the manufacturer’s agent, or an author-

ised service centre in order to avoid a

safety hazard.

Troubleshooting

Attention! Always remove the plug

from the mains socket before start-

ing any work on the machine.

• The machine won’t start: Check

whether the switch is in the “ON” posi-

tion; check that the residual current cir-

cuit breaker is not switched off and that

no fuses have blown in its electric circuit.

If the machine still won’t start have it

inspected by an authorised customer

service firm.

• The machine won’t vacuum: Check

whether the leaf collection bag is full. If

it is, empty it; check whether the lever

for the reversing flap is in the correct

position, otherwise have the machine

inspected by an authorised customer

service firm.

• The machine won’t blow: Check

whether the lever for the reversing flap

is in the correct position, otherwise have

the machine inspected by an authorised

customer service firm.

• The shredder wheel is blocked:

Check whether an object has been

sucked in that is too large; a piece of

wood, cardboard or other object has be-

come jammed between the impeller and

shredder chamber. If the shredder wheel

remains blocked have the machine in-

spected by an authorised customer ser-

vice firm.

• If the machine vibrates, please imme-

diately stop using it. Have the machine

inspected by an authorised customer

service firm.
