5.5. Fitting the harness
Open the knurled screw (Fig. 8/Item C), feed the
belt strap (Fig. 8/Item 4) through the opening and
close the knurled screw again.
5.6 Fitting the battery (Fig. 9)
Press the pushlock button (Fig. 9/Item E) of the
battery as shown in Fig. 9 and push the battery
into the battery mount provided. When the bat-
tery is positioned as in Fig. 9, make sure that the
pushlock button latches in place! To remove the
battery pack, proceed in reverse order.
Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment‘s operating time depends on the
battery with the lower charge level. The two batte-
ries must always be fully charged before use.
5.7 Charging the battery
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the side pushlock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
into the socket outlet. The green LED will then
begin to fl ash.
3. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you
will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
Start up the equipment only when fully assem-
bled.
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. Switching on the equipment (Fig. 10)
• To switch on, press the On/Off switch (5).
• To switch off, let go of the On/Off switch (5)
again.
6.3 Selecting the mode of operation
6.3.1 Suctioning (Fig. 10)
Turn the lever (Fig. 10/Item 8) to position A. You
can do this both when the equipment is at a
standstill and while it is running.
6.3.2 Blowing (Fig. 10)
• Turn the lever (Fig. 10/Item 8) 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.
• Important! Empty the catch bag before
blowing. Otherwise, the material that has
been vacuumed up could drop out.
6.4 Emptying the catch bag (Fig. 1)
Empty the catch bag (7) in good time. With a
nearly full bag, the suction power drops notably.
Organic waste should be composted.
• Switch off the equipment and remove the
batteries.
