Basic working techniques

Always wear eye protection. Stones,
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the

Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine
immediately if anyone approaches.
WARNING! Don't operate the blower if
!
the exhaust gas outlet on the engine
cover is covered by a wall and/or some
other obstacles, the machine could get

!
before cleaning.
• This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using a
shoulder harness while operating. It is operated and
controlled with the handle on the pipe using the right
hand.
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective
tasks.
• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example,
by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the
machine's blowing capacity and increases the
engine's working temperature, which can result in
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.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.
