OPERATION
To blow away debris on the ground
WARNING! - When fitting the blower tube and nozzle,
the engine must be switched off and the stop switch
must be in the stop position.
The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the throttle (A, Fig.28).
Select the speed which is best suited for the application. Once
the setting is identified, the throttle limiter (B, Fig.28) can be used
to maintain and retrieve it accurately.
Full throttle is obtained when the limiter (B) is pushed fully up.
Blowing
The blower is designed to be used with one hand only and can
be held in either the left or right hand.
The blower is equally suitable for use on uneven ground (e.g.
grassy areas) and flat areas covered in sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings and similar material.
On flat surfaces, a more efficient blowing action will be obtained
using the “duckbill” tube p/n 56552002, which can be purchased
separately. This tube generates a broad and powerful stream of
air at ground level, which can be directed and controlled more
accurately than with the standard nozzle.
The throttle stop (B, Fig. 28) is used to set different engine
speeds and consequently to adjust the air jet. Before switching
off the engine, move the throttle stop to the minimum position.
WARNING – Constantly check the area in which you
are working: never direct the air jet towards people or
animals (Fig.29).The blower can propel small objects
at very high speed. Stop the engine immediately if
you are approached.
WARNING! – Never remove the safety guard (B,
Fig.31) when the engine is running. The fan rotor (E)
could cause serious bodily injury, especially to the
hands.
Never start the blower if the safety guard is not
closed, is damaged or cannot be closed.
Always check that the safety guard (B, Fig.31) is
properly closed with the catch (C, Fig.32) securely
locked. Risk of finger injury or amputation.
WARNING! - When working with the blower, wear the
required protecting equipment (Fig.30):
1. Hearing protection.
2. Eye protection.
3. Face mask in dusty environments.
WARNING! - Be careful, particularly if left hand
operation is applied. Avoid any direct body contact
with the exhaust outlet area.
WARNING! - Do not operate the blower while standing
on a ladder or a stand.
WARNING - Don’t walk backward while operating the
machine.
WARNING - Never attempt to blow hot or burning
substances or combustible fluids.
