This distance must also be maintained in 

relation to objects (vehicles, window 

panes) – risk of property damage!

When blow-sweeping and vacuum 

shredding (in open ground and 

gardens), watch out for small animals to 

avoid harming them.
Never leave a running machine 

unattended.
Take special care in slippery conditions 

– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven 

ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Be careful of 

refuse, tree stumps, roots and ditches 

which could cause you to trip or stumble.
Do not work on a ladder or in unstable 

locations.
Be particularly alert and cautious when 

wearing hearing protection because 

your ability to hear warnings (shouts, 

alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight 

conditions and only when visibility is 

good. Proceed with caution, do not put 

others in danger.

Take breaks when you start getting tired 

or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Mufflers with catalytic converters can 

become especially hot.

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal 

injury from breathing toxic fumes, 

ensure proper ventilation when working 

in trenches, hollows or other confined 

locations.
Stop work immediately if you start 

suffering from nausea, headaches, 

impaired vision (e.g. your field of vision 

gets smaller), impaired hearing, 

dizziness, or impaired concentration – 

these symptoms may possibly be the 

result of too-high exhaust gas 

concentration – Risk of accidents!
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke 

while operating or standing near your 

power tool. Combustible fuel vapor may 

escape from the fuel system.
Always wear a dust mask if dust is 

generated.
Operate your power tool so that it 

produces a minimum of noise and 

emissions – do not run the engine 

unnecessarily, accelerate the engine 

only when working.

After work, place the machine on a level, 

non-flammable surface. Do not place the 

machine near easily flammable 

materials (e.g. wood chips, bark, dry 

grass, fuel) – risk of fire!
Never attempt to insert objects into the 

impeller housing through the intake 

screen or the nozzle. They may be 

expelled at very high speed by the 

blower – risk of injury.
If there is a noticeable change in running 

behavior (e.g. higher vibrations), stop 

work and rectify the cause of the 

problem.
If the machine was exposed to a load for 

which it was not designed (e.g. heavy 

impact or a fall), always check that it is in 

good condition before continuing work – 

see also "Before Starting". Check in 

particular that the fuel system has no 

leaks and the safety equipment is fully 

operative. Do not continue operating 

your power tool if it is damaged. In case 

of doubt, contact a dealer.

Using the blower

The blower is designed for one-handed 

operation. The operator must carry the 

blower with his right hand on the control 

handle.

To reduce the risk 

of injury from 

thrown objects, do 

not allow any other 

persons within 5 

meters of your 

own position.

Do not direct the air blast 

towards bystanders or 

animals since the air flow 

can blow small objects at 

great speed – risk of 

injury.

Your power tool produces 

toxic exhaust fumes as 

soon as the engine is 

running. These gases 

may be odorless and 

invisible and may contain 

unburned hydrocarbons 

and benzene. Never run 

the engine indoors or in 

poorly ventilated loca

-

tions, even if your model 

is equipped with a cata

-

lytic converter.
