Preparation:
1. Before starting work, always ensure your device
is in flawness condition. Do not work with your
leaf blower if any part of the device is defective
or worn out.
2. Keep other persons, particularly children or pet
animals, away from the running device. Keep such
persons at least 6 m away from your work area.
3. Clear away sharp-edged, pointed or smoul-
dering materials before starting work.
4. Prevent unintended start-up: Make sure that the
switch is set to the off position before connecting

Operation:
1. Never operate the machine barefoot or whilst
wearing open sandals. Always wear sturdy
footwear or boots to protect your feet - freshly cut
grass is moist and slippery. Rubber or hand-made
shoes increase safety. Wear long trousers to protect
your legs. Always wear safety goggles or
corresponding safety eye-wear when working with
the leaf blower. Wear hearing protection as soon
as the noise level of the work becomes uncomfor-
table.

shoulders. Keep loosely fitting clothing, ties, tassels
and dangling belts away from openings and
moving parts.
3. Never point the tube towards persons or windows.
4. Only use the machine for its intended purpose as
described here.
5. Switch off the device before mounting or dis-
mounting the blow tube. Wait until the motor has

not lose your balance - especially when you are
working on slopes.

repairs done by a specialist or customer service.
