5. Let the engine warm up for about
10 seconds.
6. Slide the choke lever (19) to the
„RUN" position .
If the engine has not started after
two attempts, try a warm start
without the choke in the „RUN"
position. If this is not successful,
follow the instructions in the „Trou-
bleshooting" section.
Stopping the engine
1. Release the fuel lever (3).
2. Set the on/off switch (2) to „0" to stop
the engine.
Working with the leaf blower
The leaf blower may only be used
for the following purposes:
- As a blower to pile up dry leaf
material or to blow material out
of places that are hard to access
(e.g. under cars)
- As a suction device to suck up
dry leaf material. The device also
functions as a shredder in the
suction function. The dry leaves
are shredded and their volume is
reduced, preparing the material
for later composting if desired.
The shredding intensity depends
on the size of the leaf material
and its residual moisture.
Uses other than those described
here may damage the machine
and put the operator at risk.
During work, ensure that the device
is not struck against hard objects,
which can cause damage. Do not
suck up any solid bodies such
as stones, branches or pieces of
98
branch, fir cones or similar, since
these can damage the device, in
particular the shredding mechanism.
Repairs of this type are not cov-
ered by the guarantee.
You should always work with the
lowest possible engine rpms, since
with reduced engine power the
noise level and fuel consumption
will be reduced as well.
Blowing operating mode:
For safety reasons, make sure the
intake cover is properly closed.
• Put on the neck strap (28) and
adjust the strap in such a way
that the blower pipe is at a
distance of 5 - 10 cm from the
ground.
• Hold the device on your right
hand side and do not touch the
exhaust. Risk of burn injury.
• The standard blower attachment
(26) allows for greater accuracy
in blowing;
The flat blower attachment
(27) facilitates blowing a broad
stream of air.
• Begin work with the highest blow-
ing power, in order to rapidly
pile up the leaves lying around.
Select a lower blowing power to
compact the previously piled up
leaves.
• Before blowing, loosen leaves
adhering to the ground with a
broom or rake.
• The guide rollers at the end of
the tube make it easier to work
on flat surfaces.
