General Operation Guidelines:
Before operating, users must read and understand all safety information.
- Switching On/Off: Press and hold the trigger (2) to switch on; release to switch off.
- Nozzle Attachment: Connect the two nozzle pieces (5) by twisting them to lock. Then, connect the assembled nozzle to the blowing connector (1) and rotate to lock it in place.
- Speed Adjustment: Begin with the Variable Speed Knob (6) set to 1. Plug in the blower, pull the trigger, and then turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed from 1 to 6, depending on the desired output level.
- Work Environment: Operate only in daylight or good artificial light. Avoid sucking in water or other liquids. Maintain firm footing, especially on slopes, and walk, do not run. Pay attention when changing direction.
- Safety Precautions: Never leave the blower unattended while plugged in or operating. Allow the blower to cool periodically. Always wear sturdy shoes and sufficient clothing; avoid loose clothing that could be sucked into the suction tube. Use personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection. Thoroughly check the work area for items that could be sucked into the suction tube or blown away. Ensure air tubes, safety devices, and covers are installed before starting. Hold the tool with both hands, ensuring the nozzle end is not obstructed. Attach extension cords to prevent accidental disconnection.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for safe and effective operation.
- Power Disconnection: Always unplug the power cord from the main socket before any installation, adjustment, repair, cleaning, or maintenance.
- Carbon Brush Replacement: Carbon brushes (2) that are shorter than 5mm, burnt, or broken should be replaced immediately. Both carbon brushes should be replaced simultaneously. To replace:
- Unscrew and remove the carbon brush plugs (7) with a slotted screwdriver.
- Remove used carbon brushes and clean any carbon dust with compressed air.
- Insert new carbon brushes, ensuring they slide smoothly into the brush holders.
- Fasten the carbon brush plugs (7).
- After replacement, switch on the device for approximately 1-2 minutes to allow the brushes to adapt to the motor. Only qualified personnel should replace carbon brushes using identical replacement parts.
