Safety instructions

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of an injury caused by electric shock!
To operate the leaf vacuum in a safe way, all instructions and information on safety, installation, and operation in the Operating Instructions must strictly be followed. All persons operating or servicing the appliance must be familiar with the Operating Instructions and know the potential dangers. It is necessary to prevent access to children, ill and infirm persons. Children must be carefully supervised if near machines. Comply with the applicable regional and local accident prevention regulations. The same applies to all occupational safety and health provisions.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable in case of an unauthorized change on the appliance resulting in damage.

WARNING! Basic preventive measures must always be taken when using tooling and forming machines. Please note all the advice and cautions in the additional safety instructions.

Pay attention to the conditions of the environment you are working in. Once the engine starts running, toxic gases are produced. These gases may be odorless and invisible. Therefore, never work with the appliance in closed or poorly ventilated areas. Ensure adequate lighting when working. Provide a safe posture, especially in wet, snowy, icy conditions, on slopes, and on uneven terrain.
Do not let any unauthorized persons stay near the machine. Prevent unauthorized persons from contact with the tools.
Keep bystanders and animals at a safe distance from the garden appliance. Thrown-off stones may lead to injuries.
Never blow any dirt/leaves in the direction of persons or animals.
Ensure safe storage of the tools. Tools not being used must be stored in a dry place, elevated, or otherwise inaccessible if possible.
Use the appropriate tools and appliances for your work at all times. Do not use e.g. any small tools or accessories for works that actually need to be performed with heavy tools/accessories. Use the tools and appliances for the purposes for which they have been designed.
Ensure adequate clothing. Clothing must be purposeful and must not prevent from working. Do not wear any scarves, chains, or other loosely hanging accessories. Long hair should be tied up.
Use hearing protection, respiratory protection, sight protection, and sturdy shoes. Use personal protective equipment against noise, e.g. hearing protection, dust mask, safety glasses, and shoes with a non-slip sole.
Transport of leaves from the vacuum. Secure the appliance against turnover, damage, and fuel leakage.
Remove the socket wrench, etc. All wrenches etc. must be removed before switching the leaf blower on.
Stay concentrated all the time. Pay attention to what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not use any power tools when you are tired. You must not work with the leaf vacuum when you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or pharmaceuticals that could reduce your ability to respond.
Caution! WARNING!
Petrol is highly flammable
• Store the fuel only in containers specifically approved for that purpose, in a safe place, away from heat and open fire.
• Do not smoke when handling fuel.
• Refuel outdoors only – use either the fuel bottle included or a funnel.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. The fuel tank cap must not be opened or engine fuel filled when the engine is running or is still hot.
• Do not start the appliance in the place of refueling as there could be petrol residues or vapours that could cause a fire.
Engine fuel filling Always turn off the engine before refueling. Open the fuel tank cap very carefully so that excessive pressure could slowly be eliminated and no fuel squirts out. High temperatures on the housing body are produced when working with the leaf vacuum. Therefore, let the vacuum cool down before refueling. Otherwise, fuel could get ignited and cause severe burns. When refueling, make sure you do not refuel too much. If the liquid has leaked outside the tank, it must be immediately removed and the appliance cleaned. After refueling, make sure the screw cap is fitted correctly so that it is not released as a result of vibrations during your work.
Time of use and breaks. Longer use of a motor unit can lead to poor circulation of blood in hands due to ****vibrations. However, you can extend the time of use with suitable gloves or regular breaks. Please keep in mind that personal susceptibility to poor circulation of blood, low outside temperatures, or great clasp forces during work reduces the time of use.
Pay attention to parts if not damaged. Check the appliance before using it. Are any parts damaged? As for slight damage, ask yourself whether the appliance is going to work perfectly and safely. Ensure correct alignment and adjustment of the moving parts. Do parties fit correctly into each other? Are any parts damaged? Is everything installed properly? Are all preconditions for perfect working met?
Damaged protective equipment must be professionally repaired or changed by an authorized person unless otherwise provided in the operating instructions. Defective switches must be changed by authorized personnel. Please contact your local servicing center for any repairs.
Switch off the engine before any adjustment or servicing work. Do so especially when adjusting the suction and blowing function.
Use only approved parts. Use only identical spare parts for servicing or repairs. Contact your authorized servicing center for spare parts.
Warning! Use of accessories and add-ons other than those expressly recommended may result in injury of persons and objects.
The appliance may only be used for the intended purpose. Any misuse is regarded as improper use. The user, not the manufacturer, in any case, is responsible for any material damage and injury of persons arising from such improper use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable in any case should changes be made to its appliances or should its appliances be used incorrectly, resulting in damage.

Operate the appliance with the attached nozzle only.

Switch the engine off before any adjustment or servicing.

The suction or blow tube and the leave collection bag are always installed according to an identical scheme. The tube is inserted in the respective clamping and secured by turning. Further securing using a screw is done for clamping the blow tube or leaf collection bag.
When installing the suction tube, make sure it is seated properly as the safety switch is controlled by the tube. Otherwise, the appliance will not start.
Fix the leaf collection bag using Velcro around the connection angle tube.

Operation
When working, always keep the leaf vacuum app. 3 cm above the ground.
The appliance noise level depends on the revolutions!
Always use only revolutions that are necessary for the given work.
You have two options for using the appliance:

Suction function use
With this, you can suck leaves, grass, or dirt into the leaf collection bag.
Blowing function use
With this, you can blow leaves, grass, or dirt on a large area into a pile and then dispose of them.
Caution! Always pay attention to the appliance blowing direction. Due to the big air pressure, particles may be thrown off high and injure other persons. Never direct the flow of air to persons or animals.
