um or blower)
– Whilst other persons, in particular children or ani-
mals, are nearby.

where flammable liquids, gases or dusts may be
located.
• Always ensure that you have a safe and firm footing
so that you can control the product and maintain your
working posture even in the event of unexpected
movements.
– If possible, avoid working on wet or slippery
ground. Avoid working on uneven or steep ground
that does not guarantee the operator a safe work-
ing posture.

ground conditions and any obstacles.

ing it.
– Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from
the fuel filling point.
– People should keep a safe distance of at least 15
metres from the work area.
– Do not point the silencer and thus the exhaust
gases at combustible materials.
• Do not make any modifications to the engine.
• Do not overload the product. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Make sure that the product does not come into con-
tact with foreign bodies or with foreign bodies and
dust that may be stirred up by the air.
• Never point the air stream at people or animals.

• Do not leave the product on leaves, dry grass or other
combustible material when the engine is hot. Fire
hazard!
• Do not work with the product in an explosive environ-
ment where flammable liquids, gases or dusts may be
located. The product creates sparks which may ignite
the dust or vapours.
• Warning! Do not work near open windows. Watch out
for children, pets and blow away foreign objects safely.
• Keep children and other people away while using the
product. Distractions may cause you to lose control of
the product.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the tool. Do not use any tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when
using the tool can result in serious injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tools or spanners before turn-
ing the tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a
rotating device part may result in injuries.
• It is recommended to operate the product only at rea-
sonable times - not early in the morning or late at
night when others may be disturbed.
• Before starting to blow, loosen foreign objects with a
rake and broom.
• In dusty conditions, lightly moisten the surface or use
an irrigation attachment if available.
• It is recommended to use the entire nozzle attachment
so that the airflow can work close to the ground.
