Safety instructions for operation
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• 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.
• Never use the product in bad weather, for instance in
fog, in rain, strong winds, intense cold, etc.
• Do not allow children to use or be in the vicinity of
the product. Since the product is easy to start,
children may be able to start it if they are not kept
under full surveillance. This can mean a risk of
serious personal injury. Disconnect the battery when
the product is not under close supervision.
• Ensure that no people or animals come closer than
15 metres (50 ft.) while you work. When several
operators are working in the same area the safety
distance should be at least 15 metres. Otherwise
there is a risk of serious personal injury. Stop the
product immediately if anyone approaches. Never
swing the product around without first checking
behind you to make sure that no one is within the
safety zone.
• Make sure that you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible obstacles
(roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etcetera) in case
you have to move suddenly. Take great care when
you work on sloping ground.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold at all times.
Do not overreach.
• Listen out for warning signals or shouts when you
wear hearing protection. Always remove your
hearing protection as soon as the product stops.
• Show consideration to persons in your surroundings
by avoiding using the product at unsuitable times,
such as late in the evening or early in the morning.
Follow local regulations and ordinances.
• Use the product with the lowest possible airflow. It is
seldom necessary to use full airflow, and many work
procedures can be done at half airflow. A lower
airflow 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.
• Observe your surroundings. Direct the product away
from persons, animals, play areas, cars etc..
• Minimize the blowing time by lightly wetting dusty
areas or using spray equipment.
• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to
make your work easier.
• Stop the product and remove the battery if the
product starts to vibrate abnormally.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time
consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone's garden.
• Do not run with the product.
• 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 airflow towards people or animals.
• Stop the motor before you assemble or dismantle
accessories or other parts.
• Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.
• Never put the product down when it is activated
unless you have it in clear sight.
• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
• Do not use the product unless you are able to call for
help in case of an accident.
