3.3- Safety precautions
3.3.1- Initial preparation before operation
- When you operate the blower, always wear full-length trousers, as well as sturdy, closed footwear that
provide good support. Do NOT operate the blower wearing shorts, when barefoot or wearing open sandals!
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair away from the
air inlet.
Under no circumstances should jewellery, any other body ornamentation, or loose clothing be worn while
operating the tool as these items could be drawn into the suction orifice.
When working outdoors, rubber gloves and non-slip footwear should always be worn.
If you have long hair, put it in a hair net.
- Wear protective equipment and always wear protective goggles while operating the tool.
Wearing protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip footwear, protective gloves, a helmet and/or
hearing protection (depending on the type and application of the electrical device concerned) reduces the risk
of injury.
- When performing work that generates dust, wear a dust protective mask to prevent dust irritation.
- Each time before you use the blower, check the integrity of the product’s power cord and your own
extension cord for signs of damage and ageing. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged or worn. The
product should only be operated when its accessories are in perfect working order.
Any damaged or defective components should be repaired immediately by a qualified technician. Never
attempt to use an incomplete, not fully assembled or modified blower.
- Under no circumstances should the blower be operated while safety devices, protections, defective guards
or shields are damaged or if safety equipment such as a deflection device or collection bag are not installed.
- Only use a weather proof extension cable fitted with coupler to IEC 60320-2-3.
Only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use should be used outdoors.
Any extension cord used should have a minimum cross section of 1.5mm2. All plug-in connections should
have an earth contact and water-spray shielding.
- Browse the working area to:
-.- remove all objects and foreign materials that may be thrown by the blower,
-.- identify hard objects or risk areas to avoid damaging the blower.

FROM ITS POWER SOURCE.
