SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
English – 11
General working instructions
Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by
avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as
late in the evening or early in the morning. To reduce
sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment
used at any one time. Read through and follow the simple
directions so that you disturb your surroundings as little as
possible.
• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. A
lower throttle 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. Utilise the entire length of the blow pipe
to keep the air current close to the ground.
• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone’s garden.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours,
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
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 refueling.
• 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
machine, open the harness straps and let the
machine fall backwards.
• 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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules
when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation
where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask
an expert. Contact your dealer or your service
workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
!
WARNING! Be aware of your
surroundings. If anyone approaches your
work area, set the throttle control to the
lowest throttle until the person is at a
safe distance. Direct the blower away
from people, animals, play areas, open
windows and cars etc.
