•
Always remove oil and fuel from the housing. Never start the device in closed rooms or build-
ings.
Inhaling exhaust gases can be fatal!
•
Exhaust systems can get very hot and will remain so for some time after stopping. This also
applies to idle use. Contact can cause burns to the skin. Think about the
fire hazard!
•
To avoid static electric shock, do not wear rubber gloves or other insulated gloves during oper-
ation.
•
Do not place the device on any surface other than a clean, hard area while the engine is running.
Foreign objects such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. can be picked up by the air inlet and
ejected through the exhaust opening, which can damage the device or property, or cause seri-
ous injury to bystanders or the user.
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not work in unventilated rooms or in places where explosive
gases or carbon monoxide can develop.
•
Do not work on unstable surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, roofs, etc. Make sure
that you keep balance and always stand securely.
•
Do not insert any objects directly into the suction tube. Always hold the device so that the suction
material discharged is not directed at people, animals, glass, or solid objects such as trees,
cars, walls, etc. The air discharge pressure can throw up stones, dirt, or sticks and thereby injure
people and animals, break glass, or cause other damage.
•
Only operate the device with the suitable accessories. Always mount the blowpipes for use in
blowing operations. The suction pipes and collecting bag must be installed for suction operation.
Make sure that the collection bag is completely closed.
•
The suction opening, blowing or suction pipes, and connecting pipe must be checked regularly.
The engine must be switched off and the spark plug connector removed. Keep vents and ex-
haust pipes free of debris to ensure proper airflow.
•
Never insert objects into the suction opening. Doing so could obstruct airflow and damage the
device.
•
Never use the device to spray chemicals, fertilisers, or other substances that may contain toxic
substances.
•
To prevent fire spreading, do not use the device near burning branches or bushes, chimneys,
barbecue areas, ashtrays, etc.
•
Use the device only for the tasks described in this manual.
Safety of maintenance
•
Any maintenance work not listed in this manual should be performed by a qualified person.
•
The spark plug cap must be removed before servicing the device. This is not necessary for
carburettor adjustments.
•
Use only recommended spare parts. The use of other spare parts can invalidate your warranty
and damage your device.
•
Empty the fuel tank if the device is not used for a long time. Use the remaining fuel in the
carburettor by starting the engine and running it until it stops by itself.
•
Do not store the device or fuel in a closed area where fuel exhaust gases can come into contact
with sparks, open flames (e.g., from water heaters), electric motors or switches, stoves, etc.
•
Store the device in a dry place out of the reach of children.
•
Secure the device during transport so that it cannot skid, tip over, or fall.
Note!
With people having circulatory disorders, prolonged use of petrol-powered devices can damage blood
vessels and nerves in fingers, hands, and joints due to vibrations. Long-term use in cold weather can
damage the blood vessels even in healthy people. Stop using the device and seek medical help imme-
diately if you notice any of the following symptoms: numbness, pain, weakness, changes in skin colour
or texture, numbness in your fingers, hands, or joints. Having an anti-vibration system does not mean
that these symptoms cannot occur at all. People who often use privately or work professionally with
petrol-powered devices should always keep an eye on their health and the condition of the device.
