work.
14) Ensure the machine does not come into
contact with foreign bodies and possible flying
debris and dust being thrown up by the air; do
not direct the air jet in the direction of people or
animals.
15) When used as a blower always pay the ut-
most attention to prevent removed material or
dust from injuring people or animals or damag-
ing property. Always assess wind direction and
never work against the wind. Always extend the
blower tube correctly so that the air flow works
close to the earth.
16) Never insert objects into the vaccum inlet
(when being used as vacuum collector) and
avoid the intake of large objects that could dam-
age the rotor.
17) During use keep your hands well away from
the intake grille and from the air outlet and do not
obstruct the air vents.
18) Stop the engine:
• when mounting or removing accessories for
blowing or collecting;
• whenever you leave the machine unattended;
• before refuelling;
• when moving between work areas.
19) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug cable:
• before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine;
• after the intake of a foreign body. Inspect the
machine for any damage and make repairs be-
fore restarting it again;
• if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (find
and remove the cause of the vibration imme-
diately);
• when the machine is not in use.
20) To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the ma-
chine with the engine hot on leaves, dry grass or
other inflammable material.
21) WARNING – If something breaks or an ac-
cident occurs while working, turn off the engine
immediately and move the machine away to pre-
vent further damage; if an accident occurs with
injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the
first aid measures most suitable for the situation
immediately and contact the medical authorities
for any necessary health care. Carefully remove
any debris that might cause damage or harm
persons or animals should they not be seen.
22) WARNING - The noise and vibration levels
shown in these instructions are the maximum
levels for use of the machine. Insufficient main-
tenance has a significant impact on vibration and
noise emissions. Consequently, it is necessary
to take preventive steps to eliminate possible
damage due to high levels of noise and stress
from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear
ear protection devices, and take breaks while
working.
23) Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause
injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called
"Raynaud's syndrome" or "white hand"), espe-
cially to people suffering from circulation dis-
orders. The symptoms can regard the hands,
wrists and fingers and are shown through loss of
sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring
of or structural changes to the skin. These ef-
fects can be worsened by low ambient temper-
atures and/or by gripping the handgrips exces-
sively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of
time the machine is used must be reduced and a
doctor consulted.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) WARNING: Before cleaning or doing main-
tenance work, disconnect the spark plug cap
and read the relevant instructions. Wear proper
clothing and protective gloves whenever your
hands are at risk.
2) WARNING: – Never use the machine with
worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and not repaired. Only
use original spare parts: the use of non-original
and/or incorrectly fitted parts will jeopardize the
machine and impair safety, may cause accidents
or personal injuries for which the Manufacturer
is under no circumstance liable or responsible.
3) Any adjustments or maintenance operations
not described in this manual must be carried out
by your Dealer or a specialized Service Centre
with the necessary knowledge and equipment
to ensure that the work is done correctly main-
taining the machine's original safety level. Any
operations performed in unauthorized centres or
by unqualified persons will totally invalidate the
Warranty and all obligations and responsibilities
of the Manufacturer.
4) Keep all nuts and screws tight to be sure the
machine is always in safe working condition.
Routine maintenance is essential for safety and
for maintaining a high performance level.
5) Do not perform any work on the machine that
is not described in this manual unless adequate-
ly skilled with appropriate tools.
6) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where the fuel vapours could reach
an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
7) Allow the engine to cool down before storing
the machine in any enclosure.
8) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, ex-
haust silencer and fuel storage area free from
sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease;
never leave containers with the debris inside the
storage area.
9) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should
be done outdoors once the engine has cooled
