Preparation:
• The personal protective equipment
protects your own health and the
health of others and ensures trou-
ble-free operation of the device.
- Wear suitable working clothes
such as robust footwear with
anti-slip soles, rugged, long
trousers, gloves, protective gog-
gles and hearing protection.
Do not use the device if you are
barefoot or are wearing open
sandals. Wear respiratory protec-
tion if you are working in a dusty
environment. Wear a dust mask.
- Refrain from wearing loose
clothing or jewellery that could
be drawn into the air intake
nozzle. If you have long hair,
use protective head covering.
• Pay attention to open windows,
children, pets, etc. Stop working
if children and pets are nearby.
The blown material may fly in
their direction. Maintain a safe-
ty distance around you of 5 m.
• Make yourself familiar with your
surroundings and pay attention
to possible dangers which, un-
der certain circumstances, can
be missed while working.
• Carefully inspect the surface
to be cleaned and remove all
wires, stones, cans and other
foreign bodies.
• Before commencing blowing/
sucking, release foreign bodies
with a broom or rake.
• Use the entire blow nozzle, so
the airflow can work close to
the ground.
