SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Place the hip strap over the hip and not too far down on 
the stomach. Tighten the hip strap so that you feel the 
weight of the blower resting on your hip.

General working instructions

Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by 
avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as 
late in the evening or early in the morning. Read through 
and follow the simple directions so that you disturb your 
surroundings as little as possible.

Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. It is 
seldom necessary to use full throttle, and many work 
procedures can be done at half throttle. A lower 
throttle means less noise and less dust, and it is also 
easier to keep control over the rubbish collected 
together/moved.

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.

Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not 
blown rubbish into someone’s garden.

Basic safety rules

No unauthorised persons or animals may be present 
in the working area, which is 15 metres.

The powerful currents of air can move objects at such 
a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious 
eye injuries.

Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.

Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling 
accessories or other parts.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as 
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. 
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to 
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.

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.

IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules 
when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation 
where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask 
an expert. Contact your dealer or your service 
workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be 
beyond your capability.
