5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1. Mounting the vacuum tube (Fig. 2, 3a, 3b, 3c)
First plug together the front suction tube (1) and the
rear suction tube (2). When the two parts engage
correctly they make an audible click. Then affix the
two tubes using the special screws size 4.2 x 18 mm
(see arrows in Fig. 2).
With the locking screw (3) in horizontal position, plug
the vacuum tube into the motor housing (Fig. 3a).
Then use the supplied open-ended wrench to turn
the locking screw 90° to the right (Fig. 3b). The
vacuum tube is now locked in place (Fig. 3c).
Note: Please note that the two vacuum tubes
must always be joined together before they are
mounted on the motor housing, and that they
must never be taken apart when mounted!
Note: The garden blower vac is equipped with a
safety lock-off switch which only works when the
suction tube is mounted on the motor housing.
5.2. Mounting the debris bag (Fig. 4)
Hang the hook on the suction tube (1).
Then slip the debris bag over the socket on the
motor housing (2). It engages correctly when it
makes an audible click.
Start up the tool only after the mounting has been
fully completed. Always inspect the tool power cable
for damage before starting up. The tool may only be
used if the cord is in flawless condition.
6. Operation
6.1 Sizing the strap (Fig. 1)
Size the length of the carrying strap (4) so that the
vacuum tube just clears the ground. The guide rollers
(9) at the bottom end of the suction tube will help you
to maneuver the suction tube on the ground.
6.2 Connecting the tool to the power supply and
switching on (Fig. 5, 6)
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with
230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse or higher.
The socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by an earth-

leakage circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.). The operating
current must not exceed 30 mA.
b
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling
(extension).
b
Secure the power cord with the sleeve provided
on the tool as shown.
b
To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch
(5).
b
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch.
6.3 Selecting the mode of operation
6.3.1 Suctioning (Fig. 7)
b
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position A. You
can do this both when the device is at a standstill
and while it is running.
6.3.2 Blowing (Fig. 7)
b
Turn the lever (Fig. 7/Item 8) to position B. You
can do this both when the device is at a standstill
and while it is running.
b
Channel the air stream forward and walk slowly
to blow foliage or garden refuse into a pile or to
clear out hard-to-reach places.
b
Important!
Empty the debris bag before blowing.
Otherwise, the material that has been
vacuumed up could drop out.
6.4 Emptying the debris bag and pre-screen
(Fig. 1)
Empty the debris bag (7) in good time. When the bag
is heavily loaded with material, vacuum power is
considerably reduced. Deposit organic refuse at a
compost site.
b
Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
b
Open the zipper on the debris bag (7) and
shake out the material.
b
Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.
6.5 Speed control (Fig. 1a)
The device is fitted with an electronic speed
controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 1a/
Item 10) to the desired position. Use the device only
with the speed which is actually required and do not
let it run at a speed which is faster than necessary.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
