can stuck into twigs. Tie up and protect long hair
(example with foulards, caps, helmets, etc.).
Safety shoes having skid-proof sole and anti-
piercing insert.
Wear protective goggles or face screens!
Use protections against noises; for example
noise reduction ear guards or earplugs.
The use of protections for the ear requests
much more attention and caution, because the
perception of danger audio signals (screamings,
alarms, etc.) is limited.
Wear gloves that permit the maximum
absorption of vibrations.

1. Undo the screw (A, Fig.3), to be able to
insert the eyelet (C) of the pipe (B) into the
appropriate housing. Tighten the screw (A),
to lock the pipe (B).
2. To pull out the extension tube (D, Fig.2) from
inside the blower tube (B), twist the collar
(E) in the
"padlock open" direction, and
the tube (C) can then be drawn out. Once
the extension is at the desired length, twist
the collar (E) back toward the "padlock
closed" position to lock the two tubes
together.
3. To increase the directional and power
characteristic of the stream of air, the nozzle
can be mounted (F, Fig.4). The nozzle must
be inserted on the extension pipe (D, Fig.2),
locking it in the two hooks (G, Fig.4).
WARNING: inside the extension pipe (D,
Fig.2) there is an anti-intrusion safety grid. It
is not possible to use the blower without the
