Please note that propelled parts can bounce off  obstacles and hit the operator.

Use personal protective equipment when operating the appliance. Ensure you wear work clothing with long trouser legs and long 

sleeves, together with protective gloves. Wear eye protection and a face mask. Use hearing protection. Wear substantial footwear 

with full uppers and non-skid safety soles. 

This is a hand-held appliance. Hold the appliance by the handle. The handle must be always directed upwards. If you need to hold the 

appliance with both hands, use the other hand to grip the bottom of the casing. Make sure that the way you hold the appliance does not 

obstruct the air inlet or outlet. The air inlet must not be too close to the ground to prevent debris from being sucked into the appliance.

Keep proper standing position during work so that you can always maintain your balance. When working on a slope, move across 

the slope. Walk, never run. 

Always use the appliance when it is fully assembled. Never use the product without the nozzle supplied. Always use the supplied 

bag when using the appliance in a vacuum mode. 

Do not touch dangerous moving parts until the appliance has been disconnected from the power source by unplugging the power 

cord, and the dangerous moving parts have come to a complete standstill. 

Before connecting, make sure that the supply system parameters match those indicated on the appliance nameplate. 

Always connect the appliance to the power supply after making sure that the switch is in the OFF position. 

When disconnecting the appliance from the power supply, always pull by the plug, never by the cable. 

When using extension cords, ensure that the insulation is made of rubber not weaker than class H05 RN-F, or PVC not weaker than 

H05 VV-F. The wire cross-section of the extension cords must not be smaller than the cross-section of the power cord supplied with 

the appliance. The wire cross-section of the power cord is marked on the insulation of the power cord. When using extension cables 

longer than 10 m, the wire cross-section must not be smaller than 2.5 mm2. Do not use extension cables which are longer than 50 m.

If retractable extension cables are used, they must be completely unwound before connection. Use extension cables suitable for 

outdoor use if the appliance is to be used outdoors. 

Note! The connection system must be fi tted with a residual current protection device (RCD) with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.

Check the condition of the power cords and extension cables, if any, before connecting the appliance to the power source. Do not 

connect the appliance to a power source if you fi nd any damage, cuts, abrasions, melted insulation or permanent deformation. Re-

place any damaged cables with new ones which are free of damage. If the power cord supplied with the appliance is damaged, have 

it replaced by an authorised service centre of the manufacturer. It is not allowed to use the appliance with a damaged power cord. 

During operation, route the power cord and the extension cord so that they do not come into contact with sharp or hot objects. Also, 

avoid contact with water or any other liquid, moisture, oil, grease, lubricants, acids or solvents, or other agents which may damage 

the insulation of the cable. Prevent the contact of the power cord and the extension cable with any moving parts. Failure to adhere 

to the above guidelines may result in the contact with the live parts, which may result in electric shock and serious injury or death.

If the power cord or the extension cable gets entangled or damaged during operation, immediately stop the appliance using the 

switch, and unplug the power cord or the extension cable from the wall outlet. Do not touch the damaged item, as this may lead 

to electrical shock and result in serious injury or death. 

Check the condition of the appliance each time before you start the appliance, or after it dropped or hit an object. If you notice any 

damage as a cracked casing, you must not use the appliance until the damage has been remedied. 

If, during operation, a malfunction or accident occurs, fi rst, switch off  the appliance and disconnect the power cord from the 

electrical outlet, and then, assist the injured persons. Rectify the cause of the malfunction or accident. Check the condition of the 

appliance for damage before resuming operation.

Always disconnect the appliance from power by unplugging the power cord plug from the power outlet when you put the appliance 

to rest, or want to remove jammed debris, inspect, clean or perform any work on the appliance, or after hitting an object to check 

the appliance for damage, or to check the appliance immediately if it starts to vibrate incorrectly. 

If any excessive vibrations of the appliance occurs after you start it or during operation, this means that it is not working correctly. 

If so, switch the appliance off  immediately, unplug the power cord and perform a check. Check the nozzle for any obstructions in 

the air inlet and outlet. Once the obstruction has been removed, reassemble the appliance, connect it to the power source and 

restart it. If the excessive vibration persists, switch off  the appliance immediately, disconnect it from the power supply and send it 

to an authorised service centre. 

Although precautions have been taken during the engineering and design of the appliance, and considering that the guidelines in 

this Manual have been followed, there is still a residual risk in terms of exposure to vibration and noise. Therefore, use personal 

protective equipment, do not work too long and take regular breaks. 

PRODUCT OPERATION

Preparing the appliance for operation

Unpack the product by removing all packaging components. You are recommended not to dispose of the packaging, as it may be 

useful for later storage of the product. 

Fully unwind the power cord. 

Check all parts of the product for damage. Check the nozzle and the collection bag for any obstructions in the air inlet and outlet. 

The product can be assembled for use in a blower or vacuum mode.

Caution! Make sure that during the assembly the product is off . The switch must be in the OFF setting and the power cord plug 

must be unplugged from the wall outlet.
