WARNING
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
WARNING
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the setting lever is used
to stop the engine, it automatically
springs back to the "on" position. If the
engine is warm, it may be possible to
start it by simply pulling the starter rope,
with no further adjustments. To reduce
the risk of injury, be particularly alert to
keep children away from the unit.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation. It must be carried by
the control handle in the right hand.
Watch out for small animals when using
the blower on open ground, in yards and
gardens.

WARNING
Operate the unit only with a properly
mounted blower tube.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle (either included with unit
or available as special accessory)
produces a broad and powerful
airstream at ground level. It can be
aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on paved surfaces.
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For
better footing, clear away fallen
branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
Working conditions
To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.

Save water by using a blower instead of
a water hose for lawn and garden work
wherever possible, e.g. for cleaning
yards and patios.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
If conditions are very dusty, dampen
–
surfaces slightly before blowing.
Pull out the nozzle to full length so
–
that the airstream is at ground level.
Do not blow particles in the direction
–
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
Remove the blow-swept debris in
–
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
Operate your power tool at
–
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods.
Fewer engines mean less noise.
–
Where possible, do not run more
than one power tool at any time.
Operate blowers at the lowest
–
engine speed necessary to
accomplish the task.
Check your blower before starting
–
work. Pay special attention to the
muffler, air intakes and air filter.
