Basic working techniques
•
This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using a
shoulder harness while operating. It is operated and
controlled with the handle on the tube using the right
hand.
•
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.
•
Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
