VIII. Working instructions
Operation
• Do not smoke while refuelling or operating equipment.
• Do not touch or let your hands or body come in contact with a hot muffler or spark
plug wire.
• Due to the danger of exhaust fumes, never operate blower in a confined or poorly
ventilated area.
• Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
• Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make sure you stand squarely and keep
your balance at all times.
• If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.
• Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold particularly while working on slopes.
• Always walk. Never run.
• Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the blow hole at persons or animals.
• The machine may only be used at reasonable times of the day, i.e. not in the early
morning or late evening when it will be a nuisance to other people. Permitted times
of use specified by local authorities must be observed.
• The machine must be run at the lowest possible motor speed required to carry out
the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush before starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that the air current can work near to
the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and blow the foreign objects safely
away from them.
• If the device makes abnormal noises or has unusually high levels of vibration, it must
be checked. Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the operator and damage
the unit.

vices, for example debris collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios, paths, driveways, lawns, bush-
es and borders.
Blower and vac mode
• Select the blow function using the selector lever on the side of the machine and
switch on.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to
side, moving forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap.
