It is recommended to first practice by blowing over a small surface. This also
helps you get accustomed to your machine.
- Wear personal protective equipment: gloves; safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing, goggles or face protection, hearing and head protection devices.
Use vibration-proof gloves.
ATTENTION
! National or local regulations may restrict the use of the
machine to certain hours or periods. Check with your local authority.
Note: careful daily inspection should be performed before use and after a drop
or shock to identify major defects. Do not use the machine until the defects have
been repaired.
Restrict working hours to a minimum and always take rest periods.
For proper use, after each work period take a rest period (for ex take a rest for
10 minutes after a work period of 30 minutes).
5.2- Operation
- Place the blower on your back and adjust the shoulder strap in a comfortable position and hold the
control handle at hip height
- Always work away from solid objects such as walls, fences, etc. or objects likely to be damaged such

- Whilst you work do not place the blower tube too close to the leaves.
The machine will be more effective if you keep it at a certain distance away from the leaves and blow
the leaves forwards.

Tips for using your blower
. Always try and blow
dry
leaves, cuttings or general garden debris. Wet materials are more difficult
to blow.
. Avoid using the blower on areas where there are stones, or other hard objects. These objects can be
thrown out or projected at great speed likely to damage your plants or objects nearby...
