Method of operation
Use the blower only in good light and visibility. Beware of slippery or wet
areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping) , and narrow space.
Always ensure a safe footing.
Never work on unstable surfaces or steep terrain.
Do not work from ladders or high places. Otherwise it may result in
personal injury.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not direct air blast towards
bystanders, since the high pressure of the air flow could injure eyes and
could blow small objects at great speed.
Never insert any foreign object into the air intake of the machine or into
the nozzle of the blower. It will damage the fan wheel and may cause
serious injury to the operator or bystanders as a result of the object or
broken parts being thrown out at high speed.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind, i.e., do not work against the
wind.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss of control, do not walk backward
while operating the machine.
Always shut off the engine before cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts.
Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend
to take a 10 to 0-minute rest every hour.
Do not operate the machine near the windows, etc.
To reduce damage from vibration and/or damage to the ears, operate the
machine at low speed if possible and limit the time of operation.
Operate the machine only at reasonable hours. Do not operate the blower
in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed.
It is recommended for using rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
Before blowing, slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions or use
water mist sprayer if necessary.
Adjust the length of the blower nozzle so that the stream can work close
to the ground.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at
any one time.
After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in
trash receptacles.
Maintenance instructions
Be kind to the environment. Operate the blower with as little noise and
pollution as possible. In particular, check the correct adjustment of the
carburetor.
Clean the blower at regular intervals and check that all screws and nuts
are securely tightened.
Never service or store the blower in the vicinity of open flames, sparks,
etc. (11).
Always store the blower in a well-ventilated locked room and with an
emptied fuel tank.
Observe and follow all relevant accident prevention instructions issued by
the trade associations and by insurance companies. Do not perform any
modifications to the blower as this will risk your safety.
The performance of maintenance or repair work by the user is limited to
those activities as described in this instruction manual. All other work is to
be done by Authorized Service Agents.
Use only genuine spare parts and accessories supplied by Makita.
Use of non-approved accessories and tools means increased risk of
accidents and injuries. Makita will not accept any liability for accidents
or damage caused by the use of any non-approved attachment or
accessories.
Never make modification on the equipment. It may cause dangerous
accidents or personal injury.
