• 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.
• 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.
• Minimize the time of operation by lightly wetting
dusty areas or using spray equipment.
• 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 product down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
