SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal protective equipment WARNING! You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Muffler The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. Consequently, we have equipped the muffler with a spark arrestor mesh mounted inside the muffler.
Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead are undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock. • The blower operator must ensure that no people or animals come closer than 15 metres. When several operators are working at the same site a safety distance of at least 15 metres must be in effect.
• 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 blower away from people, animals, play areas, and cars etc.

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system. The cooling system consists of: 1 Air intake on the underside of the blower. 2 Nozzle for cooling the cylinder 3 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
A damaged air filter must always be replaced. Oiling the air filter Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 60-76. The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.
