SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use a rake or a brush to release rubbish stuck to the ground.

Hold the opening of the blower as close to the ground as possible.

Observe your surroundings. If anyone approaches your work area, set the throttle control to the lowest throttle until the person is at a safe distance. Direct the blower away from people, animals, play areas, and cars etc.

Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not blown rubbish into someone’s garden.

Basic safety rules

No unauthorised persons or animals may be present in the working area, which is 10 metres.

The powerful currents of air can move objects at such a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious eye injuries.

Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.

Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling accessories or other parts.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.

Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.

Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason you should not start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.

The blower must not be used while on a ladder or scaffolding.

CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.

Basic working techniques

Adjust the harness so that the machine is easy to carry.

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.

!Always wear eye protection. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 10 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.

WARNING! Always stop the engine before

!cleaning.

The speed of the air jet is controlled with the throttle. Select the speed that best suits the application. To avoid holding your finger on the throttle all the time when using the blower, the required throttle can be set with the throttle adjuster (D). Full throttle is obtained when the throttle adjuster is pushed in fully.

C

Make sure that the air intake is not blocked by leaves or rubbish. This will reduce the machine’s air blowing capacity and increase the engine’s working temperature, which can lead to engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the object.

Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to make your work easier.

Using the blower to move large piles is time consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
