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, or in high places (such as roofs). Their
work could result in severe injury.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.
• Be careful when working near plants. The force of the
air could damage tender plants.
• Never place any objects in air intake opening as this
could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the
unit.
• Make sure that the machine do not hit any fence, tree
or other hard material. This could cause damage to
the machine and lead to severe injury.
Basic working techniques
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective

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.
• Keep clearance between the tube and ground to avoid
contact with the ground when working with the
machine.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
horizontally.
