5.2- Operation
5.2.1- Before operation
Before any operation:
-- Always visually inspect that the product does not show signs of use or damage.
-- Check that the screws, bolts and nuts are well tightened.
Replace any used or damaged part, and tighten firmly the screws, bolts and nuts when needed.
Ensure that the blower vacuum is only connected to conventional sockets with a 230-240V
alternating current supply.
Only use extension cables, if they are really necessary, intended for outdoor use and approved.
The use of extension cables may cause a drop in voltage, which will result in the machine not
performing to its peak or the motor overheating.
5.2.2- To switch ON and OFF (Fig.6)
To switch on the blower/vacuum: depress the On/Off trigger switch (9).
To switch off the machine: release the On/Off trigger switch (9).
5.2.3- Use.
- The easiest way to use the blower vacuum is to place the shoulder strap in a comfortable position over
your shoulder and hold the rear handle at hip height so that the majority of the machine's weight rests on
the rollers. Hold machine with both hands, do not operate the machine with only one hand.
- When using the blower vacuum to pick up leaves it is best to move the machine on the rollers. This
ensures that the blower vacuum is at the perfect height above the ground. The blower vacuum is
designed only to pick up leaves. To avoid machine damage, do not use it to pick up branches, stones or
other hard materials.
- When using the machine as a leaf blower always work away from solid objects such as walls, fences,
etc. Whilst you work do not place the blower vacuum tube too close to the leaves.
The machine will be more effective if you keep it at a certain distance away from the leaves and blow
the leaves forwards.
5.2.4- Changing the function mode (Fig.7)
To change the machine from blower mode to vacuum mode, proceed as
follows:
- switch off at the main switch and unplug from mains
- move the selector lever (6) to the required position.
