SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10 – English
• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.
Basic working techniques
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective
tasks. You can set the throttle position using the ”stop
switch” and by doing so not need to hold your finger
on the throttle all the time you are using the blower.
Full throttle is obtained when the control is held back
fully.
• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example,
by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the
machine’s blowing capacity and increases the
engine’s working temperature, which can result in
engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the object.
• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to
make your work easier.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time
consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear eye protection. Stones,
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the
eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine
immediately if anyone approaches.
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine
before cleaning.
