Before you operate the product
WARNING: Read the safety instructions
before you operate the product.
• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. A
lower throttle means less noise and less dust, and it
is also easier to keep control over the rubbish
collected together/moved. Use a rake or a brush to
release rubbish stuck to the ground.
• Hold the opening of the blower as close to the
ground as possible. Utilize the entire length of the
blow pipe to keep the air current close to the ground.
Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone’s garden. Operate
power equipment only at reasonable hours, not early
in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
• This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using
a shoulder harness while operating. It is operated
and controlled with the handle on the tube using the
right hand.
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective
tasks.
• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example,
by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces
the machine’s blowing capacity and increases the
engine’s working temperature, which can result in
engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the
object.
• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to
make your work easier.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time
consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.
To operate the throttle switch
• Apply full throttle (A).
• Apply 1/3 speed (B).
• Apply idle speed (C).
