Additional Safety Instructions
1.
Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of light-
ning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
2.
Before use, check the supply cord and any
extension cord for signs of damage or aging.
Do not touch the cord before disconnecting
the supply. Do not use the machine if the cord
is damaged or worn.
A damaged supply cord
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
3.
Wear eye protection and ear protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
4.
While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-
ate the machine when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
This reduces the risk of injury to
the feet.
5.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles
such as scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc., that
could get drawn into the air inlets. Tie back or
cover long hair to make sure it does not get
drawn into the air inlets.
If any of these items are
drawn into the air inlets, it can increase the risk of
personal injury.
6.
Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine.
Thrown
debris
can increase the risk of
personal injury.
7.
Never point the blower nozzle in the direction
of people or pets or in the direction of win-
dows. Use extra caution when blowing debris
near solid objects, such as trees, automobiles
and walls that can cause debris to ricochet.
Thrown objects can damage property and
increase the risk of personal injury.
8.
Do not use the machine to blow anything that
is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
These ignition sources
may increase the risk of fire.
9.
Do not touch the fan while still in motion. Turn
off the machine, wait until the fan stops and
unplug the machine, before removing any part
that may give access to the fan.
This reduces
the risk of injury from moving parts.
10.
When clearing jammed material or servicing
the machine, make sure the power switch
is off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the machine while clear-
ing jammed material or servicing may increase the
risk of personal injury.
11.
Incoming foreign substance may block the
air channels and laden air flows. Remove any
obstacles in the air path if the blowing perfor-
mance is being affected.
12.
Always wear gloves during operation.
Avoid
operating the machine with your bare hands. This
reduces the risk of injury to the hands and fingers.
13.
Wear no more than one set of harness at
one time.
Putting on harness and belts in lay
-
ers makes it difficult to take them off in cases of
emergency.
14.
Make sure that no other wearable interferes
with the release and removal of harness.
15.
Do not apply a heavy load to the shoulder
harness.
The shoulder harness will be damaged
under conditions of high tension and severe
stress.
16.
Adjust the air volume adequately to prevent
you from losing balance during operation.
The machine can generate a high blowing power,
unless carefully controlled, causing a reaction
movement.
