Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment's operating time depends on
the battery with the lower charge level. The two
batteries must always be fully charged before use.
6. Operation
Danger!
Start up the equipment only when fully
assembled.
6.1. Sizing the harness
Slip the harness over your shoulder and adjust
the length of the harness so that you can handle
the equipment comfortably.
Caution: Wear the harness in such a way that
the snap fastener is always close to hand.
In an emergency you can always remove
the equipment quickly by opening the snap
fastener (Fig. 21 / Item 28).
6.2. Switching on the equipment (Fig. 22)
•
To switch on, push the On/Off switch (5) to
the "I" position.
•
To switch off, push the On/Off switch to the "0"
position.
6.3 Mode of operation
Caution!
Search the surface for concealed objects (e.g.
small animals or hard foreign bodies) before
starting to use the equipment.
6.3.1 Blowing foliage
Caution!
If you point the air fl ow towards other people,
animals or objects (e.g. windows), this could
cause injuries and damage.
•
Point the air flow away from yourself.
•
Never point the air flow towards other people,
animals or objects.
•
Do not blow away any hard objects such as
stones or twigs.
•
Fit the prepared blower tube and harness
(see section 5.2) to the motor housing.
•
Check that all the components are correctly
fastened (see section 5.4).
•
Position the blower tube just above the
ground and adjust the length of the strap to

your requirements (see section 6.1).
•
Turn on the equipment (see section 6.2).
•
Set the desired blowing velocity with the
speed controller (see section 6.5).
•
Channel the air stream forward and walk
slowly to blow foliage or garden refuse into a
pile or to clear out hard-to-reach places.
•
To increase the blowing velocity for a short
time, press the "Turbo button" (see section
6.6).
Danger!
Never gather (blow) hot, combustible or explosive
materials into piles.
6.3.2 Sucking up foliage
Caution!
•
Only use the leaf blower vac in vacuum mode
if the catch bag is undamaged and properly
fitted.
•
Do not pick up too many leaves in one go as
this could clog the tube and the shredder.
•
To clear any blockages, follow the steps
described in the section "Clearing blockages".
•
Do not pick up hard or damp materials.
•
Fit the prepared 2-piece suction tube with
rollers and carry-handle, harness and catch
bag (see section 5.3) to the motor housing.
•
Check that all the components are correctly
fastened (see section 5.4).
•
Always position the suction tube on the
ground and adjust the length of the strap to
your requirements (see section 6.1). • The
guide rollers (Fig. 2/Item 9) at the bottom end
of the suction tube will help you to maneuver
the suction tube on the ground.
•
Turn on the equipment (see section 6.2).
•
Set the desired suction power with the speed
controller (see section 6.5).
•
To increase the suction power for a short
time, press the "Turbo button" (see section
6.6).
6.4 Emptying the catch bag (Fig. 3)
Empty the catch bag (7) in good time. With a
nearly full bag, the suction power drops notably.
Organic waste should be composted.
•
Switch off the equipment and remove the
batteries.
•
Open the zipper on the catch bag (7) and
shake out the material.
•
Close the zipper on the catch bag (7) again.
