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.

fog, in rain, strong winds, intense cold, etc.
Operation in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, for instance slippery surfaces.
• Do not allow children to use or be in the vicinity of
the product. Since the product is easy to start,
children may be able to start it if they are not kept
under full surveillance. This can mean a risk of
serious personal injury. Disconnect the battery when
the product is not under close supervision.
• Ensure that no people or animals come closer than
15 metres (50 ft.) while you work. When several
operators are working in the same area the safety
distance should be at least 15 metres. Otherwise
there is a risk of serious personal injury. Stop the
product immediately if anyone approaches. Never
swing the product around without first checking
behind you to make sure that no one is within the
safety zone.

Check the area around you for possible obstacles
(roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etcetera) in case
you have to move suddenly. Take great care when
you work on sloping ground.

by avoiding using the product at unsuitable times,
such as late in the evening or early in the morning.
Follow local regulations and ordinances.
• Use the product with the lowest possible airflow. It is
seldom necessary to use full airflow, and many work
procedures can be done at half airflow. A lower
airflow means less noise and less dust, and it is also
easier to keep control over the rubbish collected
together/moved.

ground.
• Hold the opening of the blower as close to the
ground as possible.
• Observe your surroundings. Direct the product away

make your work easier.

product starts to vibrate abnormally.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time
consuming and creates unnecessary noise.

blown rubbish into someone's garden.
