all usage which you consider
to be beyond your capability.
•
Never use the product in bad
weather, for instance in fog,
in rain, strong winds, intense
cold, etc.
•
Do not allow children to use
or be in the vicinity of the
product. Since the product
is easy to start, children
may be able to start it if
they are not kept under full
surveillance. This can mean a
risk of serious personal injury.
Disconnect the battery when
the product is not under close
supervision.
•
Ensure that no people or
animals come closer than 15
metres (50 ft.) while you work.
When several operators are
working in the same area the
safety distance should be at
least 15 metres. Otherwise
there is a risk of serious
personal injury. Stop the
product immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the
product around without first
checking behind you to make

•
Listen out for warning
signals or shouts when
you wear hearing protection.
Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the
product stops.
•
Show consideration to persons
in your surroundings by
avoiding using the product
at unsuitable times, such as
late in the evening or early
in the morning. Follow local
regulations and ordinances.
•
Use the product with the
lowest possible airflow. It is
seldom necessary to use
full airflow, and many work
procedures can be done at
half airflow. A lower airflow
means less noise and less
dust, and it is also easier to
keep control over the rubbish
collected together/moved.
•
Use a rake or a brush to
release rubbish stuck to the
ground.
•
Hold the opening of the blower
as close to the ground as
possible.
•
Observe your surroundings.
Direct the product away from
persons, animals, play areas,
cars etc..
•
Minimize the blowing time by
lightly wetting dusty areas or
using spray equipment.
•
Be aware of the wind direction.
Work with the wind to make
your work easier.
•
Stop the product and remove
the battery if the product starts
to vibrate abnormally.
•
Using the blower to move
large piles is time consuming
and creates unnecessary
noise.
•
Clean up afterwards. Make
sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone's
garden.
•
Do not run with the product.
•
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 airflow
towards people or animals.
•
Stop the motor before
you assemble or dismantle
accessories or other parts.
•
Keep all parts of your body
away from hot surfaces.

when it is activated unless you
have it in clear sight.
•
The blower must not be
used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
•
Do not use the product unless
you are able to call for help in
case of an accident.
•
Watch out for thrown objects.
Stones, rubbish, etc., can
be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious
injury.
•
Use a residual-current device
(RCI) for increased security. A
residual-current device is fitted
to protect operators in case an
electrical fault should occur.
•
This product is renowned
for its low vibration load.
Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage
or nerve damage in people
who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of
overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss
of strength, changes in skin
colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in
the fingers, hands or wrists.
•
Only use the product for the
purpose it was intended for.
•
It is not possible to cover
every conceivable situation
you can face. Always exercise
care and use your common
sense. Avoid all situations
which you consider to be
beyond your capability. If
you still feel uncertain about
operating procedures after
reading these instructions,
you should consult an expert
before continuing.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING: Read the
warning instructions that
follow before you use the
product.
•
Always use approved personal
protective equipment when
you use the product. Personal

fully prevent injury but it
decreases the degree of injury
if an accident does occur. Let
1601 - 003 - 13.01.2023

your dealer help you select the
right equipment.
•
Long term exposure to
noise can result in damaged
hearing. In general, battery
powered products are
relatively quiet but damage
can result from a combination
of noise level and long usage.
recommends that operators
use hearing protectors when
using products for a longer
coherent time of a day.
Continual and regular users
should have their hearing
checked regularly. Note that
hearing protectors limit the
ability to hear sounds and
warning signals.

) in conformity with EC directive
2000/14/EC. Reported sound power level for the machine has been measured with the original cutting
attachment that gives the highest level. The difference between guaranteed and measured sound power
is that the guaranteed sound power also includes dispersion in the measurement result and the variations
between different machines of the same model according to Directive 2000/14/EC.
