Work / Machine Area
• Thoroughly inspect the
whole work area and use
a rake or yard brush to
manually untangle debris,
remove anything that could
be projected by the machine
(when used as a blower), block
the vacuum tube (when the
machine is used as vacuum
collector), or be a source of
hazard (stones, branches,
steel wire, bones etc.).
• When operating in dry
dusty soil conditions, it is
recommended to moisten
the surface slightly.
• To avoid the risk of fire,
do not leave the machine
with the motor hot on
leaves or dry grass.
2.3 DURING OPERATION
Work Area
• Do not use the machine
in environments that pose
the risk of explosion, in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases or powders. Power
tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Work only in daylight or
with good artificial light in
good visibility conditions.
• Keep people, children
and animals away from the
work area. Children must
be supervised by another
adult.
Children shall not
play with the appliance.
• Check that there is nobody
within at least 15 metres of the
machine's range of operation.
• Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
• Where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippery ground or
on uneven or steep ground
that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
• Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Pay careful attention to uneven
ground (hills, dips), slopes,
hidden hazards and obstacles
that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines,
ditches or
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
• Always assess wind
direction and never work
against the wind.
• Do not use of the machine
near open windows.
• Do not use the machine
on paved or gravel-
covered surfaces, to
avoid that the removed
material causes injuries.
• Do not allow processed
material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may
prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback
of material through the
intake opening.
