gases or powders. Power
tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Work only in daylight or
with good artificial light in
good visibility conditions.
•
Check that there is nobody
within at least 15 metres of the
machine's range of operation.
•
Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
•
Where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippery ground or
on uneven or steep ground
that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
•
Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
•
Pay careful attention to uneven
ground (hills, dips), slopes,
hidden hazards and obstacles
that could limit visibility.
•
Be very careful near ravines,
ditches or embankments.
•
Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
•
Always assess wind
direction and never work
against the wind.
•
Do not use of the machine
near open windows.
•
Operate the machine only
on a firm, level surface.
•
Do not use the machine
on paved or gravel-
covered surfaces, to
avoid that the removed
material causes injuries.
•
Do not allow processed
material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may
prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback
of material through the
intake opening.
Conduct
•
When performing work utilising
the machine as blower, the
machine must always be
held firmly with the right hand
on the upper handgrip.

When performing work
utilising the machine as
vacuum collector (if foreseen),
the machine must always be
held firmly with both hands,
with the right hand on the
upper handgrip and the left
hand on the lower handgrip,
so that the collection bag
is on the operator’s left.
•
Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
•
Always use caution and
take on a firm and well-
balanced position.
•
Do not lose your balance.
• Do not overreach.
•
Make sure you have
firm footing when
working on slopes.
•
Never run, always walk.
•
Make sure to avoid violent
impacts against foreign bodies
and prevent the air low from
throwing any material and dust.
• Do not direct the air jet
towards persons or animals.
•
When used as a blower always
pay the utmost attention to
prevent removed material or
dust from injuring people or
animals or damaging property.
• Never insert objects into
the vacuum inlet (when
