Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture
as indicated in the fuel mixing table.
Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has been stored for longer than 90 days.
Important: Never use 2-stroke oil with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. The man-
ufacturer’s warranty will be voided in case of engine damage due to inadequate lubri-
cation.
Important: Only use containers designed and approved for the purpose to transport
and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle (see scale
printed on the bottle). Then shake the bottle well.
Never use oil for 4-cycle engine or use water cooled 2-cycle engine. It can cause spark
plug fouling exhaust part blocking or piston ring sticking.
Mixed fuels, which have been left unused for a period of one month or more, may clog
the carburetor or result in the engine foiling to operate property. Put remained fuel into
an airtight container and keep it in the dark and cool room.
Fuel mixing table
Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
Example:
1 L Petrol : 0.025 L 2-stroke oil
5 L Petrol : 0.125 L 2-stroke oil
Warning! Take care of the emission of exhaust gases.
Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running

Attachment and operation
PREPARE THE MACHINE
The machine can be used as both a blower and a vacuum collector. For both of these
uses it is necessary to correctly arrange the appropriate accessories included with the
equipment.
Warning: Unpacking and completing the assembly should be done on a flat and stable
surface, with enough space for moving the machine and its packaging, always making
use of suitable equipment.
IMPORTANT The safety systems prevent the engine from starting if the vacuum or blower
tubes are not assembled correctly.
The engine can not start if you do not assemble the vacuum tube when using as a
vacuum.
CHECKING THE MACHINE
Before starting work please:
• Check that all the screws on the machine are tightly fastened.
• When used as a vacuum collector, make sure the bag is fitted correctly and that the
zip is closed.
• Check that the air filter is clean.
• Check that the hand grips are well fastened.
• Prepare accessories according to the type of work (as blower or vacuum collector)
and make sure they are correctly mounted.
• Fill with fuel as indicated below.
Start (Fig 6)
Once the machine has been set up properly, start the engine as follow:
1. Turn the engine switch(1) to the ON (I) position.
2. Put the choke lever(11) on the position .
3. Press the fuel pump(10) more than 10 times.
4. Pull the recoil starter handle (8) 3-5 times to start the engine.
5. Once the motor is running, briefly wait, then put the choke lever(11) into position.
6. If there are problems, immediately turn the engine switch (1) to “0” so the motor stops.
7. If the motor is warm, you can leave the choke lever(11) in the “warm start and work”
position.

21
AUS
Attachment and operation
Note: If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section „Engine
troubleshooting“.
Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then
friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the cable will become frayed
and will wear away faster.
Always hold the starter handle when the cable retracts. Never allow the cable to snap back
when it has been pulled out.
Operating modes
Use as a blower
Warning: The machine must always be firmly gripped with your right hand on the
upper hand grip during work.
The engine speed should be adjusted to the type of material to be removed:
• Use the engine at low speed for lightweight material on the lawn.
• Use the engine at average speed to move grass and lightweight leaves on pavement
or solid ground.
• Use the engine at high speed for heavier materials like fresh snow or voluminous dirt.
Warning: Always pay the utmost attention to prevent removed material or dust from
injuring people or animals or damaging property. Always assess the wind direction
and never work against the wind.
Use as a vacuum collector
Warning: The machine must always be firmly held with both hands during work.
Place your left hand on the upper hand grip and your right hand on the lower hand
grip so that the bag is on the right-hand side of the operator.
When used as a vacuum collector, it is best to use the engine at average/high speed. Dur-
ing collection, keep the rounded end of the tube a few centimetres off the ground. The
bag also works as a filter similar to a common home vacuum.
For this reason it is best that:
• It is always free to expand and the support strap is not tangled.
• It is not fully filled.
• Collected objects that could jeopardise integrity are promptly removed.

22
AUS
Attachment and operation
To empty the bag:
• Switch the engine off.
• Open the zipper and empty the bag without disconnecting it from the fitting tube.
• IMPORTANT When used as a vacuum collector do not collect damp grass or leaves to
avoid clogging the rotor and bag.
IMPORTANT: When using the machine as a vacuum collector, there is a risk of inad-
vertently suctioning objects which can obstruct the machine and block the rotor.
In this case:
• Switch the motor off immediately - remove the spark plug cap.
• Disassemble the vacuum tube.
• Remove the foreign body from inside the vacuum inlet.
• Check that nothing is blocking the rotor before using the machine again.
IMPORTANT: A too full bag reduces the machine‘s efficiency and could cause the
engine to over heat.
End of operations
When you have finished your work:
• Switch off the engine as indicated above.
• Empty the bag if used as a vacuum collector.
• If the rotor blocks, please follow the instructions as explained above.
Tuning idle speed (Fig. 5)
Idling must be adjusted when the engine tends to turn off or no significant speed differ-
ences are noted when using the throttle.
Adjustment is performed after starting the engine and letting it run idle for several min-
utes, using the screw (D):
• Turn clockwise to increase engine rpm;
• Turn counter-clockwise to decrease engine rpm.
After adjusting, the engine should idle without irregularities or pauses.
Stopping the engine
Emergency Stopping Procedure:
• When it is necessary to stop blower engine immediately, DEPRESS the switch to OFF.
Normal procedure:
• To stop the motor, push back the throttle lever lock, so that the motor runs in idling
mode. Finally move the ON/OFF switch to “OFF”.

• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that the air current can work near to
the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and blow the foreign objects safely
away from them.
• If the device makes abnormal noises or has unusually high levels of vibration, it must
be checked. Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the operator and damage
the unit.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without safety de-
vices, for example debris collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios, paths, driveways, lawns, bush-
es and borders.
Blower and vac mode
• Select the blow function using the selector lever on the side of the machine and
switch on.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to
side, moving forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap.

Maintenance
IX. Maintenance
Important!
Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before carrying out any cleaning.
Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.
Store the petrol multi-garden tool in a safe and dry place out of the reach of children.
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the en-
gine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
• Regularly check the device before starting work.
• Never use water to clean or spray the device. Clean the motor casing with a damp
cloth and never use detergents or solvents! This may damage the device‘s plastic
parts. Dry the motor casing carefully afterwards.
• After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out and thoroughly clean it in order
to prevent mould and unpleasant odors from forming.
• You can use soap and water to clean out a heavily soiled debris bag.
• Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
• Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush upon evidence of dirt and grime.
• Dirt and grime can make the switch (blower/vacuum) more difficult to operate as a
result of the material that swirls up off the ground. When this occurs, simply flip the
switch back and forth a few times, which should bring it back to the normal feel.
• Only use OEM parts for maintenance work. Using parts other than original parts can
cause damage to the machine.
Change and clean the spark plug (Fig. 3)
Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or when the engine starts poorly.
The correct gap between ignition flag and ignition contact is 0.25“/0.63 mm.
• Wait until the engine has cooled down completely.
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug, and use the supplied spark plug wrench
to remove the spark plug by turning.
• When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals a strong incrustation, the spark
plug must be replaced with an equivalent plug.
• A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be caused by: Amount of oil is too high in
the petrol mix, poor oil quality, old petrol mix, or plugged up air filter.
• Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the thread. (Avoid jamming it)
• Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plug.
• When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque is 12-15 Nm.
• Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug.
