2.4 - WHILE OPERATING
Keep other people away from
the working area (Perimeter > 5
m). Never operate the equipment if
animals or people, particularly children,
are nearby.
Also keep safety distance from objects
(vehicles and windows). Eliminate risk
of property’s damage.
Keep the work area clean, well
organized and well lit to reduce the risk
of accidents.
While operating, particles might be
projected and be harmful to the user.
Never point the projection pipe towards
anyone neither animals.
Only operate the machine on daylight
or with a good artificial light and
never use it under rain, storms and
particularly under thunderstorms.
Always wear personal protective
equipment. Using protection glasses,
a P2 protection mask, ear protection,
non-slip safety footwear, gloves and
helmet under proper conditions,
reduces the risk of injuries.
The clothing worn while operating the

clothing and gloves away from any
moving parts.
When in use, place yourself in a stable
position and always keep your balance.

Be aware of obstacles (tree stumps,
roots, moats). During operation, walk
forward step by step and observe the
outlet area of the blower tube. Avoid
walking backwards, thus reducing the
risk of tripping.
Do not cover the machine during

the ventilation openings permanently
clean and unobstructed to allow air

servicing, you must unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
Replace worn or damaged parts

Cleaning:
The machine must always be carefully
cleaned after each use. Thus, it

Only maintenance works described in
this instruction manual may be carried
out; all other works must be performed
by an official distributor.
If any components or safety devices are
removed for maintenance works, they
must be repositioned immediately.

knowledge of the system, and should
only be performed by a qualified
technician. The replacement of
components of an electric tool with
