Getting Started . . .
Getting started
> Do not operate the machine indoors. The machine produces poisonous exhaust
fumes whilst the engine is running which may be colourless and odourless.
> Do not wrap the recoil starter rope around your hand whilst starting the machine.
This may result in injuries to your hand or ngers.
> Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery and may cause loss of control.
> When working with the machine, always wear it on your back using the harness.
Wrap your ngers tightly around the control handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and forenger. Keep your hand in this position to have
the machine under control at all times.
> To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
> Stop the engine and wait until the moving parts come to a complete stop before
placing the machine down.
> Check for signs of wear or damage before each use, after any impact or if the machine
has been dropped. Repair the machine if necessary.
Operation
> Before starting the machine, make certain that the tubes are empty.
> Keep your face and body away from the outlet opening.
> Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the tubes, or
near any moving part.
> Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a
higher level than the base of the machine when feeding material into it.
> Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine.
> Do not touch moving hazardous parts before they have come to a complete stop.
> Do not operate the machine near open windows or doors.
> Do not blow hard objects such as nails, bolts and rocks.
> Apply extra care when cleaning debris from stairs or other tight areas.
> Keep all parts of your body away from the blower openings. Do not remove blockages
or jams when the machine is switched on. Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. One moment of inattentiveness while operating the machine may
result in serious personal injury.
> Carry the machine by the handle with the motor off. Handling the machine properly
reduces the possibility of personal injury.
> Never operate the machine on a ladder or other insecure support. Do not work
above shoulder height.
> If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, check it immediately. Excessive vibration
can cause injury.
> Always ensure the machine is fully assembled before using it. Never attempt to use
an incomplete machine or one tted with an unauthorised modication.
