For this reason it is best that:
• it is always free to expand and the support strap
is not tangled.
• it is not fully lled.
• collected objects that could jeopardise integrity are
promptly removed.
To empty the bag:
• switch the engine o.
• open the zipper (1) and empty the bag without dis-
connecting it from the tting tube.
IMPORTANT When used as a vacuum collector do
not collect damp grass or leaves to avoid
clogging the rotor and bag.
IMPORTANT When using the machine as a vacuum
collector, there is a risk of inadvertently suctioning
objects which can obstruct the machine and block
the rotor. In this case:
• switch the motor o immediately - remove the spark
plug cap.
• disassemble the vacuum tube.
• remove the foreign body from inside the vacuum
inlet.
Check that nothing is blocking the rotor before using
the machine again.
IMPORTANT A too full bag reduces the machine‘s
eciency and could cause the engine to over heat.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have nished your work:
• Switch o the engine as indicated above
• Empty the bag if used as a vacuum collector.
TUNING IDLE SPEED (g. 5)
Idling must be adjusted when the engine tends to
turn o or no signicant speed dierences are noted
when using the throttle.
Adjustment is performed after starting the engine
and letting it run idle for several minutes, using the
screw (D):
• turn clockwise to increase engine rpm;
• turn counter-clockwise to decrease engine rpm.
After adjusting, the engine should idle without irregu-
larities or pauses.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Emergency Stopping Procedure:
• When it is necessary to stop blower engine imme-
diately, DEPRESS the switch to OFF.
Normal procedure:
• To stop the motor, push back the throttle lever lock,
so that the motor runs in idling mode. Finally move
the ON/OFF switch to “OFF”.
8. Working instructions
Operation
• Do not smoke while refuelling or operating equip-
ment.
• Do not touch or let your hands or body come in
contact with a hot muer or spark plug wire.
• Due to the danger of exhaust fumes, never oper-
ate blower in a conned 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 particu-
larly 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 even-
ing when it will be a nuisance to other people. Per-
mitted times of use specied 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 unu-
sually high levels of vibration, it must be checked.
Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the
operator and damage the unit.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example
debris collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to ammable ma-
terials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes 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.
