Additional safety instructions for
leaf blowers
-
The device is only intended for private
use. It must not be used in public green
areas, park areas, sport facilities, on me
-
dian strips, or for landscaping or forestry.
-
Only operate the machine at reasonable
times of the day; not early in the morning
or late in the evening when others could
be disturbed. Times specified by local
authorities are to be observed.
-
A tingling feeling or numbness in the
hands is sign of excessive vibration.
Limit the operating time, take sufficiently
long work breaks, distribute the work
between several people or wear anti-
vibration gloves when using the tool for
extended periods.
-
A certain degree of noise from this
device is unavoidable. Perform noise-
intensive work at times when this is per
-
mitted and at times intended for this type
of work. Where applicable, observe quiet
times and limit working time to the abso-
lute minimum. You and other persons in
the area where the trimmer is being used
should wear suitable hearing protection.
-
Always operate the machine at the low
-
est motor speed necessary to carry out
the work.
-
Before starting blowing, remove foreign
objects with rake and broom.
-
In dusty conditions, lightly moisten the
surface or, when available, use a water-
ing attachment part.
-
Use the entire blowing nozzle attach-
ment so the air jet can work close to the
ground.
-
Watch out for children, pet animals and
open windows; blow foreign objects
away safely.
Preparation:
1.
Before starting work, always ensure
your device is in flawless condition. Do

goggles or corresponding safety eye
-
wear when working with the leaf blower.
Wear hearing protection as soon as
the noise level of the work becomes
uncomfortable.
