• 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
• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example, by
leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the
machine's blowing capacity and increases the engine's
working temperature, which can result in 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.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.
