SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read these instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the instructions below can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. The term “power tool” in all the warnings below refers to mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tools.

• Save these instructions.
• A damaged power cord or plug must be replaced by an authorised service centre or other qualified personnel to ensure safe use.

TRAINING

• Read these instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with the controls on the product and how they are used.

• The user is responsible for any accidents or risks to other persons or property.

PREPARATIONS

• Wear heavy-duty shoes and long trousers.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery which can be drawn into the air intake. Keep long hair away from the air intake
• Wear safety glasses.
• Wear a dust filter mask if the work produces a lot of dust.
• Always check the power cord and extension cord for damage, wear and ageing before use. Do not use the product if the power cord is damaged or worn.
• Never use the product if the guards or covers are dismantled or damaged. Never use the product without the safety devices.

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area dean and well Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep onlookers, especially children, and pets at a safe distance when using power toots. You can easily lose control of the product if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• The plug on the power tool must match the PowerPoint. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed products. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the product, or to pull out the plug from the PowerPoint. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If the product is used outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use.
• Extension cords up to 25 m must have a cross-sectional conductor area of at least 1.5 mm, and extension cords longer than 25 m have a conductor area of at least 2.5 mm.

PERSONAL

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is switched off before plugging in the plug. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position increases the risk of accidents and injuries.

• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the power tool. Men keys, or the like, left in a rotating part of a power tool can cause personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting nothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.

• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems. The product must be connected to the mains with a residual current device of a max of 30 mA.

TECHNICAL DATA

 *Measured, Guaranteed
Always wear ear protection.
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 50636-2-100:2014.
WARNINGS**
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is, therefore, necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

TIPS

Follow the following tips for the best functionality and useful life.

• Only vacuum up dry leaves and twigs and dry garden debris.
• The shredding function does not work very well with wet material and the risk of blockage increases.
• Use the blower mode to blow wet leaves together in one place and allow them to dry before vacuuming and shredding.
• Avoid vacuuming stones and other hard objects, this can damage the fan wheel.
• Avoid vacuuming soil. Soil contains moisture and can together with other garden debris cause a blockage.
• The product must not be used as a waste shredder. Do not attempt to vacuum material other than garden waste.
• For best functionality and comfort the catcher should be emptied when it is about half full. This makes the product easier to use and optimises its functionality.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE

• Make sure the product is disconnected from the mains when cleaning or servicing.
• Clean the leaf blow after use.
