SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The muffler on your machine is equipped with a spark
arrestor mesh; this must be cleaned regularly. See the
heading Muffler in the Maintenance chapter. A
blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and
may lead to serious damage. Never use a muffler with
a defective spark arrestor mesh.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
!
faulty safety equipment. The machine's
safety equipment must be checked and
maintained as described in this section.
If your machine fails any of these checks
contact your service agent to get it
repaired.
Air filter
Never use the leaf blower without an air filter or with a
damaged or deformed filter element as unfiltered, dusty
air can quickly destroy the engine.

General working instructions

IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules
when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation
where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask
an expert. Contact your dealer or your service
workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by
avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as
late in the evening or early in the morning. Reduce the
noise levels by limiting the number of equipment units
used simultaneously. Read through and follow the simple
directions so that you disturb your surroundings as little as
possible.
• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. It is
seldom necessary to use full throttle, and many work
procedures can be done at half throttle. A lower
throttle means less noise and less dust, and it is also
easier to keep control over the rubbish collected
together/moved.
• 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. Utilise the entire length of the blow pipe
to keep the air current close to the ground.
• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone's garden. Dispose of
debris in trash receptacles.
