The leaf blower may only be used for the following purposes:
- As a blower to pile up dry leaf material or to blow material out places that are hard to access (e.g.
under cars)
- As a suction device to suck u.p dry material. The device also function as a shredder in the suction
function. The dry leaves are shredded and their volume is reduced, preparing the material for later
composting if desired. The shredding intensity depends on the size of the leaf material and its
residual moisture.
Uses other than those described here may damage the machine and put the operator at risk.
During work, ensure that the device is not struck against hard objects, which can cause damage.
Do not suck up any solid bodies such as stones, branches or pieces of branch, fir cones or similar
,
since these can damage the device, in particular the shredding mechanism.
Repairs of this type are not covered by the guarantee.
Blowing operating mode:
1. Set the operating mode selector switch(12) to the symbol (see “Initial Operation”).
2. You get optimal results when you use the blower with a separation distance to the ground of
5 -10 cm.
3. Direct the airstream away from yourself. Ensure that you do not to stir up any heavy objects and
hurt somebody or damage something.
4. Begin work with the highest blowing power, in order to rapidly pile up the leaves lying around.
Select a lower blowing power to compact the previously piled up leaves.
5. Before blowing, loosen leaves adhering to the ground with a broom or rake.
6. The guide rollers at the end of the tube make it easier to work on flat surfaces.
Suction operating mode:
1. Set the operating mode selector switch to the symbol (see “Initial Operation”). Check whether the
collection bag (13) is correctly assembled.
2. Make sure the volumes of leaf material sucked in at one time are not too large. This will avoid
clogging of the blower / suction tube and blockage of the impeller wheel.
3. For ground suction of leaves or leaf residues
,
place the enclosed flat nozzle onto the end of the
tube.
Working with the leaf blower
The ejection nozzle ensures ideal transport of leaves into the leaf bag. Additionally, it serves
your safety by preventing contact with the fan during operation.
To reduce wear on the collection bag, do not drag it along the ground while working.
