Safe operation

DANGER
● Operation in explosive atmos- pheres is prohibited.
WARNING
● Maintain a minimum distance of
15 m from persons and animals. Stop the device when
any persons or animals enter this area. ● Do not use the
device if there is a danger of lightning. ● You need an
unobstructed view of the work area in order to be able
to recognise any potential dangers. Use the device only
under good lighting conditions. ● Do not run but rather
walk when working with the device. Do not walk back-
wards. Avoid an abnormal posture, keep a stable, safe
footing and maintain your balance. ● Immediately stop
the device and check for damage or identify the cause
of the vibration if the device has been dropped, hit or vi-
brates abnormally. Have damage repaired by the au-
thorised Customer Service or replace the device.
● Switch off the device in the case of a malfunction or
accident, and remove the battery pack. You may only
start up the device again if it has been checked by an
authorized customer service centre. ● The backpack
blower is supplied with a harness. Carefully adjust the
harness to comfortably help to support the weight of the
product. Identify the quick-release mechanism and
practise using it before you start using the device. Its
correct use may prevent serious injury in the case of an
emergency. Never wear additional clothing over the har-
ness or otherwise restrict access to the quick-release
mechanism. ● Risk of injury on rotating parts. Switch the
motor off, remove the battery pack and make sure that
all moving parts have stopped moving:
● Before leaving the device unattended.
● Before you check the device after it has been hit by
a foreign object.
● Before checking, maintaining or working on the de-
vice.
CAUTION
● The operation of similar tools in
the environment increases the risk of hearing damage
and the likelihood of failing to hear potential hazards,
e.g. people entering your work area. ● Do not make any
changes to the device, and only use accessories and
spare parts recommended by the manufacturer. ● Dan-
ger to health due to inhalation of dust. Wear a respirato-
ry mask when working with the device. ● Moisten dusty
surfaces to reduce dust impact. ● Do not operate the
device near an open window. ● Never direct the blower
nozzle at people or animals.
ATTENTION
● Damage to the device if waste is
sucked into the air intake. Do not place the blower on or
near loose waste. ● Never insert objects into the blower
pipes.
Note
● Use the extension of the nozzle so that the air-
flow can be close to the ground and work effectively.
● Only operate the device at appropriate times. Please
also observe local regulations and directives. When op-
erating early in the morning or late in the evening, other
people may be disturbed.
Safe transport and storage
WARNING
● Switch the device off, allow it to
cool down and remove the battery pack before storage
or transportation.

quire special care and knowledge and may only be
performed by appropriately qualified personnel. Take
the device to an authorized Customer Service depart-
ment for maintenance. ● Ensure that the device is in a
safe condition by regularly checking that all bolts, nuts

Note
● You may only perform the adjustments and re-
pairs described in these operating instructions. Contact
your authorised Customer Service department for other
repairs. ● Have damaged or illegible warning signs on
the device replaced by the authorised Customer Ser-
vice department.
Certain residual risks remain even when the device is
operated as intended. The following dangers can be
present when using the device:
WARNING
● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools
for the job, use the handles provided and use the
lowest required speed in order to complete the job.
● Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro-
tection and limit the duration of exposure.
● Injuries from hurled objects that may escape from
the blower pipe due to air pressure.
● Always wear eye protection.
CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
