Attachment and operation
Note: If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section „Engine
troubleshooting“.
Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then
friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the cable will become frayed
and will wear away faster.
Always hold the starter handle when the cable retracts. Never allow the cable to snap back
when it has been pulled out.
Operating modes
Use as a blower
Warning: The machine must always be firmly gripped with your right hand on the
upper hand grip during work.
The engine speed should be adjusted to the type of material to be removed:
•
Use the engine at low speed for lightweight material on the lawn.
•
Use the engine at average speed to move grass and lightweight leaves on pavement
or solid ground.
•
Use the engine at high speed for heavier materials like fresh snow or voluminous dirt.
Warning: Always pay the utmost attention to prevent removed material or dust from
injuring people or animals or damaging property. Always assess the wind direction
and never work against the wind.
Use as a vacuum collector
Warning: The machine must always be firmly held with both hands during work.
Place your left hand on the upper hand grip and your right hand on the lower hand
grip so that the bag is on the right-hand side of the operator.
When used as a vacuum collector, it is best to use the engine at average/high speed. Dur-
ing collection, keep the rounded end of the tube a few centimetres off the ground. The
bag also works as a filter similar to a common home vacuum.
For this reason it is best that:
•
It is always free to expand and the support strap is not tangled.
•
It is not fully filled.
•
Collected objects that could jeopardise integrity are promptly removed.
