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, the vacuum power is considerably reduced. Deposit
organic refuse at a compost site.
Switch off the tool and pull out the plug.
Open the zipper on the debris bag (7 and shake out the material.
Close the zip on the debris bag (7) again.
6.5 Speed control (Fig. 1a, BG-EL 2501 E only)
The device is fitted with an electronic speed controller. To use it, turn
the speed controller (Fig. 1a/Item 11) 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 only be
replaced by a qualified technician to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
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 and dry it in order to prevent mould and unpleasant odours
from forming.
You can use soap and water to clean out a heavily soiled debris bag.
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)
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 earthleakage circuit breaker (ELGB). The operating
current must not exceed 30 mA.
Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling (extension).
To switch on, press and hold the ON/OFF switch (Fig.5/Item 5).
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 5/item 5).
6.3 Selecting the mode of operation
6.3.1 Suction (Fig. 6)
Turn the lever (Fig. 6/Item 8) to position B. You can do this
both when the device is at a stand still and while it is running.
6.3.2 Blowing (Fig. 6)
Turn the lever (Fig. 6/Item 8) to position C. You can do this either
when the device is at a stand still 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.
Important! Empty the debris bag before blowing. Otherwise, the
material that has been vacuumed up could drop out.

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.
8.2 Maintenance
Should the tool experience problems beyond those mentioned above,
let only an authorized professional or a customer service shop
perform an inspection.
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional
maintenance.
