Basic working techniques
■
Make sure that you are familiar with the appliance before starting work.
WARNING!
►
WARNING! Risk of flying objects. Always wear goggles. Flying
stones, debris, etc. could hit your eyes and cause serious injury or
blindness. Maintain a safe distance. Children, animals, spectators and
helpers should remain outside a safety zone of 15 m. Switch off the
appliance immediately if anyone approaches.
►
Do not use the appliance if the exhaust opening on the engine cover is
obstructed by a wall and/or other objects. Otherwise, the appliance
could be damaged. Ensure that a distance of at least 50 cm to other
objects is always maintained during operation.
■
The leaf blower is portable and is carried during operation on the
shoulders by means of a belt. It is controlled with the right hand using
the handle on the pipe.
■
The speed of the air jet is controlled with the throttle. Adjust the speed to
the respective application.
■
Make sure that the air inlet is not blocked, for example, by leaves or
dirt. A blocked air inlet reduces the blowing power and increases the
working temperature of the engine, which can lead to engine failure.
If necessary, switch off the engine and remove any foreign bodies.
■
Pay attention to the wind direction. It is easier to work with the wind
(at your back).
■
The leaf blower should not be used to move large piles of leaves, as
this is very time-consuming and causes unnecessary noise.
■
Assume a safe working position with a firm stand.
■
After finishing work, the machine must be stored upright.
