. whenever you leave the machines; when the blower is not in use, is being carried/transported, or is
left unattended.
. before clearing a blockage; while examining, cleaning or unclogging the product.
. before checking, cleaning or working on the product, performing maintenance on it, or attaching
accessories to it.
. If the device strikes a foreign object (e.g. fence…) or starts to vibrate abnormally.
- If product bumps into any object during operation, stop it and control that it has not been damaged. Replace
or repair any damaged piece in a qualified service centre.
- Use the blower in daylight or with adequate illumination (good artificial light).
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Bear in mind that the force generated by an electrical device can make you lose your balance. Therefore,
make sure that your feet are firmly planted and that your body is well balanced when you are operating the
product.
- Never operate the blower on damp areas or wet grass.
- Use of the blower on sloping areas:
. Do not work in areas with unduly steep slopes.
. Always be sure of your footing on slopes. Position yourself horizontally to the slope and make sure
your feet are firmly planted.
. Exercise particular caution whenever you change directions while working on a slope.
- Walk, never run. Walk at a measured pace while operating the blower. DO NOT RUN.
- Keep the air outlet and ventilation holes (cooling air inlets) unobstructed, clear of debris and clean at all
times.
- Never direct the suction/blown air opening towards persons or animals. Never blow debris in the direction
of bystanders and/or animals.
- Do not assume of your knowledge of the blower. Remember that a split second of negligence is sufficient to
cause serious damage. Be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for potential hazards that you may not
hear while operating the product.
3.3.3- Before maintenance and storage
- Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the appliance is in safe working condition.
- Check the debris collection device frequently for signs of wear and/or deterioration.
- Replace any worn or damaged parts.
- Make sure to use only genuine/original replacement parts and accessories.
- For reasons of safety, any worn or damaged component should be replaced or repaired immediately by a
qualified technician.
- When not in use, store the blower only in a dry place that is inaccessible to children.
3.3.4- Before starting the product
- Only operate the product after completely assembling it.
Do NOT operate product if tube is not fully and properly assembled!
- Before each use, check the blower vacuum for any signs of damage.
- Prior to each use, check the power cord for signs of damage. Under no circumstances should the power
cord be used if it shows any signs of damage.
- Ensure that the blower/vacuum is only connected to conventional sockets with a 240V alternating
current supply. Only use extension cables if they are really necessary. The use of extension cables may cause
a drop in voltage, which will result in the machine not performing to its peak or the motor overheating.
- The blower can be plugged into any 230-240-volt AC outlet with 10 amps of fuse protection. The
electrical outlet is to be protected by an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a max triggering
current of 30mA (i.e. the appliance should be supplied via a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30mA).
