•
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. If anyone approaches your
work area, set the throttle control to the lowest throttle until
the person is at a safe distance. Direct the blower away
from people, animals, play areas, and cars etc.
•
Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not blown
rubbish into someone's garden.
Basic safety rules
•
No unauthorised persons or animals may be present in
the working area, which is 10 metres.
•
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.
•
Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling
accessories or other parts.
•
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.
•
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 machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
•
Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason
you should not start or run the machine indoors, or
anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
•
The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
•
CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to
call for help in the event of an accident.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Basic working techniques
•
Adjust the harness so that the machine is easy to carry.
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
!
Always wear eye protection. Stones,
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury. Keep
unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 10
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches.
WARNING! Always stop the engine before
!
cleaning.
•
The speed of the air jet is controlled with the throttle.
Select the speed that best suits the application. To avoid
holding your finger on the throttle all the time when using
the blower, the required throttle can be set with the throttle
adjuster (D). Full throttle is obtained when the throttle
adjuster is pushed in fully.

•
Make sure that the air intake is not blocked by leaves or
rubbish. This will reduce the machine's air blowing
capacity and increase the engine's working temperature,
which can lead to 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.
