English (Original instructions)
■ Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Stop
the engine and ensure impeller blades have stopped
rotating before opening the vacuum door or installing/
changing tubes. Do not put hands or any other object
into the vacuum tubes while they are installed on the
unit.
■ Never run the unit without the proper equipment
attached. When used as a blower, always install the
blower tubes and close the door. When used as a
vacuum, always install the vacuum tubes and vacuum
bag. Make sure the vacuum bag is completely zipped
when the unit is running to avoid flying debris.
■ Avoid situations that could cause fire in the vacuum
bag. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not
vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits,
brush piles, etc. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or
cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.
FUELING
■ Fuel is highly flammable. Take precautions when
using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
■ Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from spark and/or flame-producing equipment.
■ Mix and store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
■ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is
running or when the engine is hot.
■ Do not smoke while handling fuel.
■ Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol.
■ Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
■ Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
■ Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
■ Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 9m away from
refueling site before starting engine.
■ Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circum stances.
■ If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
■ Tighten all fuel tank and container caps securely.
■ Empty fuel tank into a container approved for petrol
and restrain the unit from moving before transporting
in a vehicle.
■ When draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel
storage container in a well-ventilated area.
■ Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool
before refueling.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
■ This product is very noisy when operating. To prevent
long term hearing damage, wear hearing protection
and keep other persons 15m away from the work area.
Operating similar tools nearby increases risk of injury.
■ Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the work area.
■ It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent upon exposure to cold.Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms.There are measures
that can be taken by the operatorto possibly reduce
the effects of vibration:
a. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
b. After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
doctor about these symptoms.
■ To reduce the hazard from dust inhalation, slightly
dampen the work area before blowing or vacuuming.
■ Use a garden rake or a broom to loosen heavy
deposits or fallen leaves or other waste before using
the blower.
■ When there is a risk of falling objects, wear head
protection.
