General notes on safety

CAUTION
Risk of injury on account of flying objects.
Wear safety goggles and gloves during
use. Keep work area free from persons.
 The device must not be operated by mi-
nors.
 Wear a dust mask in case of dusty sub-
soils.
 Persons with limited sensory and cogni-
tive abilities must not use this device.
 Do not blow harmful dusts.
 Never blow directly into a pile of leaves,
but from the outside to the centre.
 Always adjust the power stage in ac-
cordance with the subsoil and the task.
 Keep children and other individuals out
of the working area during use.
 Ensure that no vehicles are parked in
the work area. They could get damaged
by whirled up stones.
WARNING
Risk of injury on account of blower. Never
operate the device without the blower pipe.
WARNING
Risk of injury on account of blower. Keep
long hair and clothing away from the suc-
tion openings.
DANGER
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
– Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.

tion or bypassed with respect to their func-
tion.
