Starting
Warning!

Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Warning!
Once the engine has started, immedi -
ately blip the throttle trigger, which
should release the starting throttle and
allow the engine to slow down to idle.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation with either the right or
left hand on the control handle.
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
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen -
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi -
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory prob -
lems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some of the gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide) may be color -
less and odorless. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury / illness from inhal -
ing toxic fumes, never run the machine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
