For stubborn debris/leaves your vacuum tube is fitted
with a scraper. Use the scraper to loosen the debris and
continue to vacuum as normal.

As the bag fills, the power of the suction will decrease,
switch off the appliance and unplug battery.
u
Unzip the bag to empty the contents before continuing to
operate.
Warning! Warning! Never remove the collection bag without
first turning off and removing the battery from the appliance.
Note: If the suction decreases and the bag is not full, the
vacuum tube is probably clogged with debris. Turn off and
remove the battery from the vacuum and clear the tube before
continuing.
