of the unit. These precautions and regulations are for your protection.
CAUTION: Hold the blower so that hot exhaust does not damage clothing and is not inhaled by operator.
DO NOT operate the blower with other people or animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of
30 feet (9 meters) between operator and other people or animals.
We recommend that a face mask be worn when operating blower in dusty areas. Stand away from the
debris, at a distance that will easily allow you to control the direction of blown debris. Never blow debris in
direction of bystanders. To control velocity of airstream, blower can be operated at any speed between
idle and full throttle. Experience with the unit will help you determine the amount of airflow necessary for
each application.
To use the appliance:
Follow the motor starting instructions as described in the operating instructions. Let the motor run in idle
mode and attach the appliance as shown in Fig. 8. Make sure that nothing is covering the exhaust pipe as
this would cause heat to build up. Hold the handle securely with the right hand (Fig. 9) and swing the blow
pipe back and forth so that the desired surface is freed from dirt. The throttle lever (Fig 3/Item 1) and the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3/Item 2) are integrated in the handle (Fig.3/Item 4).The throttle lever lock (Fig.
3/Item 3) can stop the motor at full throttle without the necessity of constantly pressing the throttle lever.
Important: Before switching the appliance off, push the throttle lever lock to idling mixture supply.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND ORDERING OF
SPARE PARTS
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance
work.
Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
Maintenance of the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked after every 25 hours of use and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more frequently.
1)
Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 10)
2)
Remove the filter element (Fig. 11)
3)
Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing it.
4)
Assemble in reverse order.
Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.
