shredded and their volume
is reduced, preparing the
material for later compost-
ing 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:
For safety reasons, make
sure that the protective cover
(7) on the suction aperture is
closed.
• You get optimal results when you use
the blower with a separation distance
to the ground of 5 -10 cm.
• 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 adhering
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.
• While working, hold the device by the
handgrip (2.2) or handgrip (2.2) and
the T handgrip (2.1).

Suction operating mode:
For safety reasons, both suc-
tion tube sections and the
collection bag must be cor-
rectly mounted before you
can start the device.
• Always hold the device tight with both
hands during operation: use the handle
(2.2) and the additional handle (10) for
this.
• Make sure the volumes of leaf material
sucked in at one time are not too large.
This will avoid clogging of the suction
tube (16) and blockage of the impeller
wheel.
To reduce wear on the collection
bag, do not drag it along the
ground while working.
Overload protection: The motor
will cut out immediately if overloaded.
Turn the leaf vacuum off and remo-
ve the mains plug. Then check whe-
ther the impeller is blocked or the
collection bag clogged and remove
the obstacles if they are.
The tool cannot be used until it has
completely cooled down again.
C
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.
1. Turn off the device and wait until the
impeller has stopped.
2. Unplug the device.
