if the unit is left unattended; before checking, cleaning or performing other work
on the unit; if the unit starts vibrating excessively.
Before starting the unit
Before starting work, familiar yourself with the blower and its functions as well as its
controls.
Inspect the unit before switching it on and check for signs of wear and damage if it
strikes an object. Do not use a unit which has a defective switch and can no longer
be switched on or off.
When working with or on the unit, always wear sturdy footwear, long trousers and
the appropriate personal protective equipment (goggles, hearing protection, non-slip
protective gloves, etc.).
The wearing of personal protective equipment reduces the risk of injuries.
Do not wear any jewelry or loose clothing which could be caught by the blower unit.
Keep long hair away from the intake openings.
Check the terrain on which the unit will be used and remove any stones and pieces
of wire, which could be picked up by the blower, to avoid endangering people.
When using the unit
Do not switch on the unit if there are persons (particularly children) or animals in
the immediate vicinity. Ensure that children do not play with the unit.
Interrupt blowing if you notice that persons (particularly children) or pets are
nearby. Do not blow any debris towards people.
Avoid an abnormal body posture. Ensure that you have a firm footing and always
keep your balance. You can then better control the blower unit in unexpected
situations and particularly on sloping areas.
Do not work with the blower in a potentially explosive environment in which there
are flammable liquids, gases or dust. The blower may generate sparks which could
ignite the dust.
Do not use the blower unit near open windows.
Be particularly careful when walking backwards. There is a risk of tripping!
Use the unit at walking pace only.
When interrupting work, never leave the unit unattended and keep it in a safe place.
