• Do not run the combustion engine in closed rooms
in which hazardous carbon dioxide can collect.
• Do not fit any devices or accessories to the device
that are not provided by or approved by the manu-
facturer.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not use a tool that has a defective switch. Any
tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Never use the device:
- Without having mounted all accessories intend-
ed for the respective use (when used as a leaf
vacuum or blower)
- Whilst other persons, in particular children or an-
imals, are nearby.
- In enclosed spaces, in an explosive environ-
ment, where flammable liquids, gases or dusts
may be located.
• Therefore, always ensure that you have a safe and
firm footing so that you can control the device and
maintain your working posture even in the event of
unexpected movements.

your application. The correct tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Make sure that the device does not come into con-
tact with foreign bodies or with foreign bodies and
dust that may be stirred up by the air.
