11 Working instructions
The product may only be used for the following purposes:
• As a blower for piling up dry foliage or blowing it away
from hard-to-reach places.
• As a suction unit for sucking up dry foliage.
With the suction function, the product also serves as a
shredder. The dry leaves are shredded, their volume
reduced and prepared for possible composting. The
intensity of the shredding depends on the size of the
leaves and the residual moisture they still contain.
Any other use may result in damage to the product and
pose a danger to the user.
• Before switching on the product, make sure that it is
not directed towards people or animals.
• Hold the product with both hands during the work.
Grasp both handles.
• Some noise pollution from this product is unavoidable.
Postpone noisy work to approved and designated
times. If necessary, adhere to rest periods.
• Lightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.

Blowing mode
Note:
In blowing mode, you can also operate the product with-
out a collection bag.
• You will achieve optimum results when using the
blower at a distance of 5 - 10 cm from the ground.
• Point the air jet forward and move slowly to blow
leaves or garden waste together or remove them from
hard-to-reach places.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen up waste before
blowing.
• Start work with the highest blowing power to quickly
collect the leaves lying around.
Select a lower blowing power to compact the previ-
ously collected pile of leaves.

Suction mode
ATTENTION
Always make sure the product is fully assembled
before commissioning!
• Make sure that not too many leaves are sucked in at
the same time. This will prevent the suction tube from
clogging and the impeller from jamming.
Note:
To avoid unnecessary wear on the collection bag, avoid
dragging it across the ground while working.

Cleaning
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the
product clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure. We recommend that
you clean the product directly after every use.
• Ventilation openings must always be free.
• Clean the product at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the product. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the product interior.
• Keep the product away from rain and moisture. Water
penetrating the product increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
• Never immerse the product in water or other liquids
for cleaning.
When operating the cordless leaf vacuum/blower
• After finishing work, remove the collection bag (12) as
described in Assembling/removing the collection bag
(12) (Fig. 5). Turn it inside out and clean it thoroughly
and dry it. This prevents the development of mould
and unpleasant odours.
