Operation
Connecting the equipment to the power supply and switching on
The equipment can be connected to 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.
Insert the equipment’s plug into the power cable coupling (extension).
Secure the power cable with the strain-relief clip provided on the equipment .
To switch on, push the On/Off switch toward “I”.
To switch off, push the On/Off switch toward “O”.
Selecting the mode of operation
Suctioning
Turn the lever to position A. You can do this both when the equipment is at a standstill and while it is
running.
Blowing
Turn the lever to position B. You can do this both when the equipment is at a standstill and while it is
running.
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.
Caution!
Empty the debris bag before blowing. Otherwise, the material that has been vacuumed up could
drop out.

Emptying the debris bag
Empty the debris bag in good time. With a nearly full bag, the suction power drops notably. Organic
waste should be composted.
Switch off the equipment and pull out the power plug.
Open the zipper on the debris bag and shake out the material.
Close the zip on the debris bag again.
Cleaning & maintenance
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into
the device.
After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould
and unpleasant doors 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.
