WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
WARNING
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation with either the right or
left hand on the control handle.
Watch out for small animals when using
the blower on open ground, in yards and
gardens.
WARNING
Operate the unit only with a properly
mounted blower tube.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For
better footing, clear away fallen
branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
Working Conditions
To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.
Save water by using a blower instead of
a water hose for lawn and garden work
wherever possible, e.g. for cleaning
yards and patios.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
If conditions are very dusty, dampen
–
surfaces slightly before blowing.
Pull out the nozzle to full length so
–
that the airstream is at ground level.
Do not blow particles in the direction
–
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
Remove the blow-swept debris in
–
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
Operate your power tool at
–
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods. Normal
