Basic working techniques
!
5. Never operate the
blower in poorly
ventilated spaces where
exhause fumes might
otherwise be inhaled.
6. Do not operate the
blower while standing
on a ladder or a stand.
7. Avoid usage in
unfavourable weather
conditions. For
example, thick fog,
heavy rain, strong
winds or extreme cold,
etc. To work in bad
weather conditions is
tiring and can create
dangerous
circumstances, e.g.
slippery surfaces.
8. Make sure you can
walk and stand safely.
Look out for any
obstacles with
unexpected movement
(roots, stones,
branches, pits, ditches,
etc.). Take great care
when working on
sloping ground.
9. Never put the machine
down with the engine
running unless you
have good sight of it.
• Adjust the harness so that the machine is easy to carry.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine when cleaning.

• The speed of the air jet is
controlled with the
throttle. Select the speed
that best suits the
application. To avoid
holding your finger on the
throttle all the time when
using the blower, the
required throttle can be set
with the throttle adjuster
(D). Full throttle is
obtained when the throttle
adjuster is pushed in fully.
• Make sure that the air
intake is not blocked by
leaves or rubbish. This will
reduce the machine’s air
blowing capacity and
increase the engine’s
working temperature,
which can lead to engine
failure. Stop the engine and
remove the object.
• Observe the direction of
the wind. Work in the
direction of the wind to
simplify your work.
• Using the blower to move
large heaps is time
consuming and creates
unnecessary
