If any of the results fail to match
the indications provided in the tables
below, do not use the machine! Take it
to an authorised service dealer to be
checked and repaired if necessary.

6.3 START-UP

1. Adopt a firm and well-balanced position;
2. Make sure that the blower tube is not
directed towards any bystanders or debris;
3. Fit the battery (Fig. 6.A) inside its housing
pressing down until it clicks firmly into
position and assure the electrical contact;
4. Move the switch to the start position
(Fig. 7.A.2, Fig. 7.A.3).
Starting the machine causes the
simultaneous rotation of the rotor.
NOTE Operate the machine
only on a firm, level surface.

6.4 OPERATION

While working, the machine
must always be held firmly with the
hand on the handgrip (Fig. 8).
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
6.4.1 Adjusting the speed
It is always advisable to set the rotor speed in
relation to the type of material to be removed:
No signs of damage
or wear.
No abnormal vibrations.
No abnormal sound
Result
The machine starts and
the rotor starts rotating.
1. The switch should
move easily and the
machine should stop.
– average blowing speed (Fig. 7.A.2)
for light materials and small shrubs
on the lawn, to move light grass and
leaves on pavement or solid ground;
– high blowing speed (Fig. 7.A.3) ) for
wet leaves, heavier material, such
as fresh snow or bulky rubbish.
6.4.2 Operating suggestions
Proceed slowly keeping the end of
the blower tube at a suitable distance
from the ground (Fig. 8).
To avoid dispersing the material to be
removed, direct the air flow towards the
outer edges of the pile of material. Never
direct the air flow to the middle of the pile.

6.5 STOP

To stop the machine, move the switch
to the stop position (Fig. 9.A.1).
The rotor will continue to
rotate for a few seconds after you
have switched off the motor.
Always stop the machine when moving
between different work areas.
Whilst moving the machine, never
keep the hand on the throttle control to
avoid starting the machine
