•
Push the bottom blower tube (Fig. 3a/ Item
14) over the top blower tube (Fig. 3a/Item
13) and lock by turning clockwise.
•
The blower nozzle with either the large or
small opening can be fitted. Push the blower
nozzles over the blower tube and lock by
turning clockwise.
6.2 Fuel and oil
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as indica-
ted in the fuel mixing table.
Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has
been stored for longer than 90 days.
Important: Never use 2-stroke oil with a recom-
mended mixing ratio of 100:1. The manufacturer’s
warranty will be voided in case of engine dama-
ge due to inadequate lubrication.
Important: Only use containers designed and
approved for the purpose to transport and store
fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke
oil into the attached mixing bottle (see scale prin-
ted on the bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

7. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may differ from one loca-
tion to another.
7.1 Cold starts (4a-4b)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See also „Fuel and oil“.
1. Place the equipment safely and securely on
the ground.
2. Set the On/Off switch (4) to „ON“ (Fig. 4a)
3. Press the fuel pump (10) (Fig. 4b) 10 times.
4. Set the choke lever (7) to „ „.
5. Hold the equipment fi rmly by the holding
handle.
6. Pull the starter cable (8) out a short way until
you feel resistance. It must be pulled evenly
and quickly to start the engine. When the en-
gine is running, set the choke lever to „ „.
7. Allow the engine to warm up for approx. 10
seconds.
Note: If the engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, proceed as described in the section
„Troubleshooting guide“.
Note: Always pull out the starter cable in a
straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, the
cable will rub against the eyelet. This friction will
cause fraying and therefore greater wear on the
starter cable. Always hold the starter handle se-
curely when the cable is retracted. Take care not
to let the cable snap back after it has been pulled
out. This could cause the cable to catch/become
worn and/or might damage the starter housing.
7.2 Warm starts (engine off for no longer
than 15- 20 minutes)
1. Set the On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 4) to
„ON“ and pull the starter cable (Fig. 1/Item
8). The engine should start after one or two
pulls. If the engine does not start after 6 pulls,
repeat steps 2 to 6 (see the section „Cold
starts“).
2. If the engine fails to start, or if it starts and
stops again after several pulls, follow the inst-
ructions in the section „Cold starts“.
7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the blower imme-
diately (in an emergency), set the ignition switch
(Fig. 1/Item 4) to „OFF“.
Normal procedure:
To switch off the engine, push back the throttle
lever catch so that the engine runs in idle mode.
Then move the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Pos. 4) to
„OFF“.
