Preparation
Always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers when using the tool.
Never wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They may get drawn into the suction opening. Rubber
gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors. Wear a hair net if you
have long hair.
Only operate the tool when it is in good working order and is not damaged in any way.
Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance
at all times. If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass. Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold
particularly while working on slopes. Always walk. Never run. Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
Never direct the vacuum/blow hole at persons or animals. The machine may only be used at reasonable
times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late evening when it will be a nuisance to other people.
Permitted times of use specified by local authorities must be observed.
Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush before starting any blowing work. Where conditions
are dusty, dampen the surface a little or use a sprinkler attachment. Use the full-length blower nozzle
extension so that the air current can work near to the ground. Watch out for children, pets, open windows
etc. and blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
Maintenance and storage
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely tightened in order to be sure that the
machine is in a safe working condition. Frequently check the debris bag for signs of
wear and deformation. Use only genuine accessories and spare parts.
