Basic safety rules
•
No unauthorised persons or animals may be present
in the working area, which is 15 metres.
•
Allow the engine to cool before refuelling.
•
Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.
•
If the machine catches fire or other emergency occurs
which forces you to release yourself from the

•
The powerful currents of air can move objects at such
a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious
eye injuries.

Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.
•
Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling
accessories or other parts.
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
•
Minimise the blowing time by lightly wetting dusty
areas or using spray equipment.
•
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of
hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches and gardens.
•
Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
•
Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
•
Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this
reason you should not start or run the machine
indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
•
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.
