Basic Safety Rules - Husqvarna 560BTS Manual De Instrucciones

• Hold the opening of the blower as close to the ground
as possible. Utilise the entire length of the blow pipe
to keep the air current close to the ground.
• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not
blown rubbish into someone's garden.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours,
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
WARNING! Be aware of your
!
surroundings. If anyone approaches your
work area, set the throttle control to the
lowest throttle until the person is at a
safe distance. Direct the blower away
from people, animals, play areas, open
windows and cars etc.

Basic safety rules

• No unauthorised persons or animals may be present
in the working area, which is 15 metres.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling.
• Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.
• If the machine catches fire or other emergency occurs
which forces you to release yourself from the
machine, open the harness straps and let the
machine fall backwards.
• The powerful currents of air can move objects at such
a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious
eye injuries.
• Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.
• Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling
accessories or other parts.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Minimise the blowing time by lightly wetting dusty
areas or using spray equipment.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of
hoses for many lawn and garden applications,

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches and gardens.
• Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
• Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
• Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this
reason you should not start or run the machine
indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.
