device, in particular the shredding
mechanism.
Repairs of this type are not cov-
ered by the guarantee.
Pull out mains plug immediately
if the impeller wheel is blocked
or if the cable is damaged or
gets wound around something!
Danger of electric shock!
Suction operating mode:
•
Set the operating mode selector
switch to the symbol (see "Initial
Operation"). Check whether the
collection bag is correctly assembled.
•
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 im-
peller wheel.
To reduce wear on the collec-
tion bag, do not drag it along the
ground while working.
If the device stops suddenly dur-
ing operation and does not pro-
duce any suction, then it is to be
switched off immediately. Pull out
the power plug and make sure
that no material is wedged in be-
tween the shredder impeller and
the casing. Carry out the work as
described in the chapter "Cleaning
and Maintenance". If the appliance
will not start, consult our Service
Centre.
Emptying the collection bag:
With full collection bag, the suction pump-
ing capacity decreases considerably and
the collection bag must be emptied when
the bag is full or interferes with the suction
capacity of the device.
Disconnect the device and pull out
the power plug before emptying
the collection bag. Danger of elec-
tric shock!
1. Wait until the impeller wheel is
still.
2. To remove the collection
bag (16), the retainer loop
(18a+18b) and press the two
side click-in fasteners (22) on
the retainer frame (15) inward.
3. Open the zip fastener (
on the collection bag (16) and
empty it completely.
4. Refit the empty collection bag
(see chapter "Assembly Instruc-
tions").
Composting material does not be-
long with domestic waste!
Blowing operating mode:
•
Set the operating mode selector
switch to the symbol (see "Initial
Operation").
•
You get optimal results when you use
the blower with a separation distance
to the ground of 5 -10 cm.
•
Direct the airstream away from your-
self. Ensure that you do not to stir up
any heavy objects and hurt somebody
or damage something.
•
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 previ-
ously piled up leaves.
•
Before blowing, loosen leaves adher-
ing to the ground with a broom or rake.
•
The guide rollers at the end of the tube
make it easier to work on flat surfaces.
